“But he willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbor?'” (Luke 10:29).
Most of us are familiar with the story of the Good Samaritan. We find a prime example of one who was willing to stretch no matter what the cost. Sadly, many think the cost is too high and the risk is too great.
I love our Treasure writer’s application in Week Two of this month’s study. She includes questions we should ask of ourselves. How many of us know much about the needs of our community? Would we be willing to evaluate them as Dana Copeland did?
Today’s verse asks, “Who is my neighbor?” Finding the answer to this question may involve some stretching. That stretching will take us beyond our next-door neighbor. That someone to whom we can witness about Christ will not be out of our reach if we don’t set limits on our stretch. We have a message of hope for those around us.
You have the message of hope to share with those around you. As you go in Jesus’ name, you won’t have to ponder the question of our verse.
