| | The Good Samaritan may represent [[Jesus Christ]], who saves the sould on the road to destruction, putting him on the right path. The Jew had been travelling from [[Jerusalem]] to [[Jericho]], which is a road downhill, from the city of God to the cursed city, origianlly belonging to the Cannanites. The interpretation is that the man is on his way to hell, and along the dangerous road he is attacked. The Lord rescues him from sin, curing his wounds with oil, carrying him "on his own beast. Luke 10:34" Jesus brings him to the inn, which represents the church, and provides the saints there with the rescorces ("two pence" Luke 10:35) to nurse him back to health. The Samaritan sayes "Take care of him; and whatesoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee." In the same way, Jesus will come again and reward his church for tending to lost souls. | | The Good Samaritan may represent [[Jesus Christ]], who saves the sould on the road to destruction, putting him on the right path.
