A Real Life Good Samaritan

Man Saves Stranger from Burning Car

On a drive home from his son's football game, Jonathon Tucker saw flames coming from a car that had crashed down a steep hill. By instinct, he stopped, told his son to stay by the car, and ran down to help anyone trapped in the car to safety. Along with another man who was trying to help, the two managed to pull a nearly unconscious man out of the car minutes before it was engulfed in flames. To read more, check out the story on Exeter

Jesus replied, "A man fell victim to robbers as he went down from Jerusalem to Jericho. They stripped and beat him and went off leaving him half-dead. A priest happened to be going down that road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. Likewise a Levite came to the place, and when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. But a Samaritan traveler who came upon him was moved with compassion at the sight. He approached the victim, poured oil and wine over his wounds and bandaged them. Then he lifted him up on his own animal, took him to an inn and cared for him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper with the instruction, 'Take care of him. If you spend more than what I have given you, I shall repay you on my way back.' Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers' victim?" He answered, "The one who treated him with mercy." Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise." Luke 10:30-37
