Love in Action is Costly
Commentators emphasize that the Samaritan's compassion was not just a feeling but a series of sacrificial actions. He used his own expensive supplies (oil and wine), gave up his own animal to walk himself, and invested his personal time and energy to care for a wounded enemy. This demonstrates that true neighborly love is practical, personal, and often inconvenient.
