What does EGW write about...
Ellen Gould White über: "Is Jesus the Good Samaritan?"
Answer
Yes, Jesus Christ is explicitly called the Good Samaritan, who is our perfect example. He came into our world to represent the Father's love and to help the poor, abused, and wounded souls who were near death. The Samaritan in the parable also represents a group of people who work as true helpers with Christ and follow his example in doing good.
Jesus as Our Example and the True Samaritan
Christ is our example. He is the Good Samaritan. He came into our world to represent the Father's love. He came to help the poor, abused, and wounded soul that was left to die.
The Meaning of the Samaritan in the Parable
This Samaritan, said Christ, was the neighbor to the one who had fallen among the robbers. [...] The Samaritan represents a class of true helpers with Christ who imitate His example in doing good.
Christ as the Tireless Servant
The example of the Savior should inspire us to make serious, sacrificial efforts for the benefit of others. He came as the tireless servant of humanity's need into this world. [...] Humble, gracious, tender, and compassionate, He went about, doing good, lifting up the bowed, and comforting the mournful.
