Neighbourly Kindness - Our love for Christ is only as real as our love for our neighbor.

Neighbourly Kindness A certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion. —Luke 10:33 Bible in a year: Jeremiah 27-29; Titus 3 One of the major obstacles to showing compassion is making prejudgments about who we think is worthy of our compassion. Jesus told a parable to answer the question: “Who is my neighbour?” (Luke 10:29). Or, who qualifies as worthy of our neighbourly acts?
	Jesus told of a man who travelled on the notoriously dangerous road from Jerusalem to Jericho. As he travelled, he fell among thieves and was robbed, beaten, and left for dead. Religious Jews (a priest and a Levite) passed him, but they walked by on the other side, probably for fear of being religiously defiled. But a Samaritan came along and had unconditional compassion on the wounded stranger. Jesus’ audience would have gasped at this because Jews despised Samaritans. The Samaritan could have limited or qualified his compassion because the man was a Jew. But he did not limit his neighbourly kindness to those he thought were worthy. Instead, he saw a human being in need and resolved to help him.
Are you limiting your kindness to the ones you deem worthy? As followers of Jesus, let us find ways to show neighbourly kindness to all people, especially to those we have judged as unworthy.— Marvin Williams How many lives shall I touch today? How many neighbors will pass my way? I can bless so many and help so much, If I meet each one with a Christlike touch. — Jones Our love for Christ is only as real as our love for our neighbor.
