The Question Jesus Actually Wants You to Ask | Luke 10:25-37

The parable of the Good Samaritan isn't primarily about identifying who our neighbor is. It's about allowing God's Word to examine our own hearts. In Luke 10:25-37, Jesus redirects the conversation from asking who deserves our love to asking what kind of people we are becoming. • Jesus exposes our tendency to judge others instead of examining ourselves. • The Good Samaritan shows that loving our neighbor begins with becoming the kind of person who reflects God's compassion. • Following Jesus means letting His love shape our character so that mercy becomes our natural response. Key Scriptures: Luke 10:25-37 Luke 10:2 Leviticus 19:18 Deuteronomy 6:5 Take a few moments this week to ask God not simply who He wants you to love, but who He is shaping you to become. If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who could use the reminder. Bayou City Fellowship Spring Branch Campus | Keith Bower | July 5, 2026 https://linktr.ee/bayoucityfellowship
