Reformed (Presbyterian) Lens Commentary: Luke 10:25-37

## Reformed (Presbyterian) Lens Reading of Luke 10:25-37

### Tradition-Specific Interpretation

In Luke 10:25-37, we read this parable as a profound illustration of the expansive nature of God's covenant love, demonstrated in Christ, who is the ultimate Good Samaritan. This passage underscores the insufficiency of human works under the covenant of works and points us to the necessity of sovereign grace as revealed in the covenant of grace. The lawyer's question highlights human inability to achieve righteousness through the law, driving us to recognize our need for Christ's redemptive work, which fulfills the law on our behalf.
