Luke 10:25-37 (The Good Samaritan) - Universal Perspective
The Good Samaritan parable redefines "neighbor" from object ("who deserves my love?") to subject ("to whom can I BE neighbor?"). Jesus makes a hated Samaritan the hero, challenging Jewish exclusivism. Love is defined by costly action, not tribal boundaries.
