What keeps us from helping others?

Rolf Jacobson shares a powerful study connected to the Good Samaritan story in Luke 10. Seminary students, fresh off reading the parable, walked right past someone in need—simply because they were told they were late.

It’s not always lack of compassion. Sometimes, it’s just the pace of our lives.

Slow down. Reflect. Let compassion move you.
