The Good Samaritan’s Challenge

The parable of the Good Samaritan is more than just a nice story—it’s an invitation. In Luke 10, the Samaritan tells the innkeeper, “Take care of him.” That’s exactly what the Savior asks of us. Who in your life needs care today? Maybe it’s a friend who’s feeling left out. Maybe it’s a family member who needs a listening ear. Maybe it’s a stranger whose day could be changed by a small act of kindness. Take the challenge today—ask the Savior to open your eyes to someone you can help. A simple act of love can be life-changing.
