Episode 211: Who Is My Neighbor?
The Rev. Dr. Alix Pridgen
“The truth is: We’re not just the priest who hurries by. We’re not just the Samaritan who stops. We are — every one of us — the person in the ditch. But here’s the good news: the story doesn’t leave us there. Jesus comes — without fear, without hesitation — binds up our wounds with his own hands, lifts us onto his own shoulders, takes on the cost of our healing. This is the gospel:
Not that we go out to save the world, but that the Savior of the world comes for us, pours out mercy for us, does the impossible for us.”
