The Parable of the Good Samaritan Explained [S02E21]

Did you ever ask yourself what does the parable of the Good Samaritan mean, or who does the Good Samaritan represent? Who does the injured man represent? And lastly, what does this parable mean for me?
In the story of the good Samaritan, Christ illustrates the nature of true religion. He shows that it consists not in systems, creeds, or rites, but in the performance of loving deeds, in bringing the greatest good to others, in genuine goodness. {DA 497.1}
In the [parable] of the good Samaritan, Jesus gave a picture of Himself and His mission. Man had been deceived, bruised, robbed, and ruined by Satan, and left to perish; but the Saviour had compassion on our helpless condition. He left His glory, to come to our rescue. He found us ready to die, and He undertook our case. He healed our wounds. He covered us with His robe of righteousness. He opened to us a refuge of safety, and made complete provision for us at His own charges. He died to redeem us. Pointing to His own example, He says to His followers,
"These things I command you, that ye love one another." John 15:17;
"As I have loved you, that ye also love one another." John 13:34. {DA 503.6}
