The conversation began with Jesus being asked "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" in Luke 10:25-37 Jesus responds, "what does the law say?" And the man replied, "love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength and with all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself."
Jesus says, "You've answered correctly, do this and you will live".The man then asks, "But, who is my neighbor?"
From there Jesus uses the story of the Good Samaritan and at the end asks him who he thinks the good neighbor was...
Who is my neighbor? This question grabbed my attention possibly because of our current circumstances of "Stay in".
It's very difficult for me to just "abide in Him", I always feel like I should be doing something physical in order to "be a good neighbor, or friend, or wife or mom..."
This is perhaps a time like never before to Trust Him and just to wait for opportunities that He provides to be a good neighbor. So our assignment for this morning is to Love Him with our entire being and then to be ready to serve Whoever our Neighbor turns out to be when He creates that opportunity...
Who is your neighbor?

Thanks, Lori. The ways we previously connected with neighbors has changed, too. So different.
