An ApplicationThis parable could just as easily be renamed "the good deplorable." The point wasn't that Samaritans were necessarily worse than anyone else, but they were hated by the Jews (compare JN 4:9). One takeaway is anyone can act good (LK 6:33) but we don't always, and certainly no one does good all the time (PS 14:3, MK 10:18, RM 3:12.) It's not good enough to call ourselves Christian... (continued in Connect the Dots below)

Connect the Dots....we must act the part, too (MT 3:9, 7:21, JAM 4:17). As He often did, Jesus raised the bar here on our expectations of who we have to love and how much (for example MT 5:27-28, 6:14-15, 18:21-22).
