THE VALUE OF EMPATHY IN LUKE 10:25-37 AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE FOR PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCE MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS
Abstract
This research examines the role of empathy in the context of mental health, specifically through the lens of the Parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37. With increasing cases of depression and mental health disorders in Indonesia, including in North Sulawesi, this research highlights the importance of social support and environmental awareness for individuals with mental health disorders. This research uses the literature study method to analyze data from various relevant literature. The research results show that the empathy shown by the Samaritan in the parable is an example of real and universal love, which transcends the boundaries of social differences and identity. This research confirms that churches have a responsibility to be practically involved in the mental health struggles of their congregation, by showing concrete love and empathy. This is in line with church teachings about love which must be manifested in reality in everyday life.
