The Good Samaritan ~ The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

Luke 10:30-37(30) And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
(31) And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
(32) And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
(33) But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
(34) And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
(35) And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
(36) Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
(37) And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

We we all seek to be called good, because God is good.

There's actually a ton of symbolism behind the Good Samaritan. The pre-existence, being born and stripped by the enemies minions, being healed, the oil in ancient times was often and symbol for the holy spirit, and of course the good Samaritan in this story is obviously Jesus! I love this story - thank you for posting it! Great video.
