But WHO is my neighbour?
The man was not finished. He asked Jesus another question:
"Yes, but WHO is my neighbour?"
What he really meant was: "Are You saying I have to love EVERYONE? Or just people like me?"
This is a question many of us secretly want to ask. Surely we do not have to love the bully, the stranger, the person who annoys us?
So Jesus told a story to answer.
๐ "But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, 'And who is my neighbour?'" (Luke 10:29)
