You may have heard of this week's famous parable: the parable of the Good Samaritan. A lawyer, in the most lawyerly way, asks Jesus the million dollar question: "What must I do to inherit eternal life?"

It's the question we all want to know the answer to too. And as you'll hear in the lawyer's response, we hear what the law says we must do to inherit eternal life, and, as you'll hear in Jesus' response, we hear how the gospel promise of mercy delivers eternal life. 

Questions Adam, Kiri and Mason ask:

If God is love, how is love not the gospel? If all of our options are sinful, should we just do nothing? Is the Good Samaritan a good example to live by?
