How does the Good Samaritan represent Jesus Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Good Samaritan symbolizes Christ's compassionate nature and redemptive work.

In the parable, the Good Samaritan is a figure who represents Jesus Christ, who comes to us in our wounded and helpless state. Just as the Samaritan had compassion on the wounded man and took care of him, so Christ sees our spiritual condition and intervenes in our lives. He binds up our wounds and pours in healing, signifying the depth of His mercy and care for us. The Samaritan's actions—coming to the man, tending to his wounds, and ensuring his care—illustrate how Christ meets us where we are, embodying the sovereign grace that addresses our deepest struggles and needs, ultimately leading us to salvation.
