The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg

In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses the parable of the Good Samaritan and its implications for acts of compassion in everyday life. He reflects on the notion of chance and the role of individual agency when it comes to helping others, using the example of a priest who failed to aid a wounded man on the road. Gregg emphasizes the significance of demonstrating kindness and love to all people, regardless of their background or beliefs, as a reflection of God's goodness and a call to repentance.
