William Arnot, Scottish minister, writes on the Good Samaritan from Luke 10. The Samaritan helps an cultural and religious adversary. The parable draws us away from asking exactly who is deserving, and asks if you’ll do the same.

A few years back some conservative preachers were upset that “kindness” had become associated with Christian virtues.

How can you answer Arnot’s question?

"The point on which attention is fixed is not, Who of all mankind have a right to receive kindness?', but, 'Are you willing to show kindness, as far as you have opportunity, to every human being who is in need ?''
