"How do you read it?" 27 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.'" 28 "You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live." 29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" NIV

  4. WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR? Luke 10:30-37 30 In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.' 36 "Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?" 37 The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise." NIV

  6. WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR? Ex 23:4-5 "If you come across your enemy's ox or donkey wandering off, be sure to take it back to him. 5 If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen down under its load, do not leave it there; be sure you help him with it. NIV Isa 58:7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter — when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? NIV

  7. WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR? • A man travels on a Road and is BEATEN Luke 10:30 • ________ men passed by him • PRIEST • LEVITE "Where he saith, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, he excepts all Gentiles, for they are not our neighbors, but those only that are of our own nation and religion.” TWO

  8. THE SAMARITAN DESPISED • __________ by the Jews John 4:9 The Samaritan woman said to him, "You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?" (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.NIV

  10. THE WHOLE POINT • Love your neighbor as yourself! Gal 6:10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. NIV Matt 5:43-48 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. NIV

  11. THE WHOLE POINT STRANGER • Love the ___________– they were commanded to love! Deut 10:17-20 For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes. 18 He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, giving him food and clothing. 19 And you are to love those who are aliens, for you yourselves were aliens in Egypt. NIV PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACHED

  12. THE WHOLE POINT James 1:22, 26-27 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says…If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. NIV

  13. THE WHOLE POINT COST • The ________ of compassion • A willingness to cross ________________ • A willingness to take __________ Luke 6:30-31 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you. NIV SOCIAL BARRIERS RISKS

  14. THE WHOLE POINT • The COST of compassion • A willingness to __________ busy schedules Matt 5:41-42 If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. NIV • A willingness to make _____________ SET ASIDE SACRIFICES

  15. THE WHOLE POINT Luke 6:34-36 And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. 35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. NIV

  16. ONE FINAL THOUGHT “Loving your neighbor’s is not a natural reaction, but a supernatural one.”
