This story highlights the compassion exhibited by the Samaritan towards the injured traveler. "But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where [the injured man] was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine." These verses reveal the Samaritan's deep empathy—he doesn't ignore the suffering of the injured man but takes immediate action to help him. He binds the man's wounds, offering soothing oil and wine, and ensures his safety and recovery. This story teaches us that compassion is more than just feeling sorry for someone; it's about actively caring for those in need.

We want to be encouraged to be like the Good Samaritan, ready to respond with kindness and help when we encounter others facing difficulties. The Good Samaritan's compassion serves as an example of how a simple act of kindness can make a significant difference in someone's life and the importance of loving and caring for our neighbors as ourselves, which is a central teaching of Christianity.
