The Good Samaritan

Feb 4, 2024    Dr. Jeffrey Arthurs

The expert in religious law asked Jesus to define “neighbor” in Luke 10:25-37. Was he obligated to love only the Jews, or maybe his fellow religious scholars? Just who does God command us to love? When Jesus answered, he turned the conversation upside-down. He says that we are the neighbors. We make neighbors by acting neighborly with compassion.
