Three well-known parable told by Jesus, as recorded in Luke's Gospel, and the lesson to love your enemies are explained in-depth. The explanation is based on the Greek text and a system of divine language that hides the deeper truth from readily being seen. The three parables are: The Good Samaritan; The Prodigal Son; and The Rich Man and Lazarus. The explanations raise the level of awareness from that of children's Bible Stories to an impact that calls adult attention to how one lives his or her life.
Because the conversation with a Pharisee (or lawyer) led to Jesus telling the parable of the Good Samaritan, Robert Tippett also explains the importance of the question, "Who is my neighbor?" This relates to the misinterpretation of the lesson Jesus told (in Luke 6:27-36) that says "love your enemy." This is important to understand when answering the question, "How do I love my and my neighbor, when I must love Yahweh with all my heart?"
