How does the parable of the Good Samaritan relate to grace?

Answered in 1 source

The parable exemplifies grace by showing that mercy comes not from the law or human effort but from the compassionate action of Christ.

In the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus reveals that true mercy and compassion are found in the unlikely character of a Samaritan, symbolizing how Christ, while despised by many, is the ultimate source of mercy. The Samaritan’s actions reflect the grace of God—not through legal obedience or religious pride, but through divine love in action. The law, represented by the priest and Levite, passed by without helping, demonstrating our inability to earn salvation through our works. This underscores the central message of sovereign grace—a God who actively brings help to the spiritually wounded.
