But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” (Luke 10:29 NKJV)

Who is your neighbor?

LUKE 10 IN ITS ENTIRETY.

Thought For The Week: When Jesus gives us instructions, do we willingly obey, or do we try to negotiate? Do we want to love all of our neighbors, or do we try to select just the ones that are easy to love? We must guard against trying to bend Jesus’ words to fit our will. Instead, we must hear all of His words—even the ones that challenge us so that we can be prepared to walk in full obedience to Him.

Prayer: Jesus, You call me to love my neighbor. And I confess that I have not loved all of my neighbors the way that You love me. I’ve looked down on some and shut others out. Please help me to see all people as my neighbors and to love them with Your love, so that I may serve You by serving whoever You place in my life. In Jesus’ name, amen.
