I'm working towards a couple of sermons on the Good Samaritan parable from Luke 10:25f. The angle on it taken by Robert Farrar Capon in his Parables of Grace book combined with some of the paintings by an American artist Tim Lowly (http://www.timlowly.com/) lead me down the path of questioning any interpretations of the parable that focus on good works as the answer to the lawyer's question "What must I do to inherit eternal life?"
I'll post a way to get to the sermon that emerges next week but leave you with one of Lowly's paintings (Beacon) where he depicts Temma, his severely handicapped daughter, as the person lying helpless on the road who requires neighbours.
