This week we are looking at a classic story from scripture. The Good Samaritan is a story that tells us who our neighbor is. We are tempted to label this as a story that teaches us that everyone is our neighbor. However, that’s not really what Jesus says. So who then does Jesus say our neighbor is?
Extra Mile: Jesus puts the legal expert through a mental exercise in order to show him who his neighbor was. Turns out, it is the last person he would ever expect to help him and probably the last person he would want to see in a vulnerable position. This week, let’s do the same exercise. Who is the last person or group you would ever expect to help you or that you would want to see you at your worst? Take your time with this. But when you arrive at your answer, apply what Jesus says to the legal expert. Go and show mercy.
Scripture: Samaritan - Luke 10:25-37
Pastor: Rev. Sean McDonald
