He praises the Samaritan


Our Savior, in the telling
in the story of this man
injured, left for dead
there in the road

Christ praises the Samaritan
the enemy of the Jews
for he stopped to care for him
the man there in the road

He wasn’t stopped by convention
the enmity of that time
he cared for his neighbor in need
he didn’t cross to the other side

He praises the Samaritan and not the Pharisees.”
