What must I do to inherit eternal life; who is my neighbor, and how big is God? These are seemingly simple questions. To test Jesus, an expert in the law asked Jesus the first two questions. The great pastoral theologian Henri Nouwen was asked the third question by Megan, the four-year-old daughter of Nouwen's friends, the Christensens. In response to the lawyer's questions, Jesus gives us the parable of the "Good Samaritan," one of the most beautiful and challenging stories in the New Testament. Nouwen's response to Megan illustrates the parable, and all these questions, as well as the parable, challenge us to live into God's compassionate, boundless love.
