Help for sinners - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2026

But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion. So he went to him and bandaged his wounds.
Luke 10:33–34

Help for sinners
The story of the Good Samaritan shows how Jesus Christ desires to help people whose lives are ruined by injustice and self-will. The Samaritan encountered the robbed man on his journey, wounded and half-dead by the roadside. – The Son of God became man about 2,000 years ago and came to us. He made this “journey” from heaven to earth to help us. After His death and resurrection, the Lord Jesus Christ returned to heaven. He now enters into the lives of individuals through the gospel.

When the Samaritan saw the wounded man, he was moved with compassion. – Likewise, the Lord Jesus takes a caring interest in our misery. It touches His heart when He sees us suffering under the consequences of our sinful lives. Perhaps others pass by heedlessly. They have no time and no compassion for us. Not so the Saviour. It deeply moves Him when we sigh under the burden of our guilt and have no hope left.

The Samaritan cared for the injured man and bound up his wounds. – The Lord Jesus also wants to do good to us. He grants forgiveness of sins and inner peace to everyone who believes in Him and seeks His help. He Himself established the conditions for this when He gave His life on the cross for sinners.
