Engagement Questions:

• What does the choice of a Samaritan as the hero of the story reveal about the nature of compassion and the importance of seeing beyond societal divisions?

• How can the actions of the Good Samaritan inspire us to respond to those in need in our own lives, particularly when it involves individuals from different backgrounds or beliefs?

• In what ways does the parable challenge us to reflect on our own biases and assumptions about others, and how can curiosity help us overcome these barriers?
