Neighbor But who are our neighbors? Neighbors are not limited to the people bordering our fences. Someone once asked Jesus the same question. He responded by telling a story of a man who was attacked and left for dead. Two religious leaders passed up the victim, refusing to help, but the third man, a racial enemy of the victim, helped the man. Jesus said that this last man, the one who showed mercy, was the true neighbor. We can emulate this example of a "good neighbor" by reaching out and showing God's love to anyone God brings into our daily lives who is in need. Jesus
Christ defines "neighbors" as more than the people who live
next door to us. |
