On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus.
“Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life? What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. ’You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.” But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” Luke 10:25-37 Jesus answers this question by telling a story and Jesus always has the best stories. Jesus tells him the story of the Good Samaritan. Jesus taught him that everyone is his neighbor. There are no exceptions. Jesus changes how we look at people. He softens our hearts to be compassionate and kind to each other. We are commanded to love like Jesus loves. We don’t love our neighbor because we are better. We love our neighbor because Jesus loves them through us. Jesus loves Eufaula and so do we!
