The parable of the good Samaritan is one of my favorite lessons. The story offers a practical application and of prophecy as well.
 
(KJB) (Luke 10:30-35) “And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, 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. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.”
 
In typology,
 ,
1.The Man that went “down” from Jerusalem to Jericho is mankind.

2. The Thieves are Satan and his devils “stripped him of his raiment,” which speaks of man originally being clothed in righteousness, but losing his righteousness due to sin. He is now “wounded” and “half dead.” The term “half dead” is perfect because man died spiritually in Eden, but not physically. To this day, all lost men are “half dead.”
 
3.The Priest and the Levite fail to help the man, picturing how religion and legalism fails to help sinners today.

4.The Samaritan, picturing Jesus, had compassion on him and did a number of things for him.

A. He “bound up his wounds,” picturing how Jesus can bind up the wounds of sin and make a man whole again.

B. He poured in “oil and wine,” which reminds us of how we are sealed with the

1.(Oil) Holy Spirit, which gives us the joy of the Lord once we are saved.
2. (Wine) is the type of Blood of Jesus Christ that washed our sins away.
 
C. He “set him on his own beast,” picturing the way Jesus wants us to bring our burdens to him.

D. He “brought him to an inn, and took care of him,” rather than leave him where He found him, which speaks of Christ wanting His people to become part of a good church so He can take care of them.

E. He departed on the next days with the promise of coming again:

“(V.35) he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.”

Notice:
(Matthew 20:2) you will see that a penny was a day’s pay at that time, which means that TWO PENCE is “two day’s” pay. The Good Samaritan (Jesus Christ) planned to return after Two (Church Age) Days.
