Luke 10:34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
I just love this title. The story of the good Samaritan and the man who fell among thieves in scripture is just an amazing story. For most people all they see is just doing good to their neighbour. But the story has much deeper meaning than what most people know to be truth concerning this ancient story.
Now, the story is not a parable. Jesus said, there was a certain man. So certainly, this was something that really happened. We were told that a man travelled from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves. Geographically, Jerusalem is higher than Jericho. So going from Jerusalem to Jericho means going down. Remember Jerusalem is the city of God hence the city of blessing; while Jericho was a city of the curse; Joshua cursed Jericho when he overthrew it.
