What does it truly mean to love your neighbor as yourself? Let's take a journey through the essence of Jesus' teachings, as we dissect the story of the Good Samaritan from Luke 10. Uncovering how this principle, meant to spread love, has been manipulated to erect barriers and sow division, we explore the role of biases in distorting our definition of the word "neighbor".
Get ready to challenge the status quo as we ponder on the question, "Who is my neighbor?" We confront the ways in which we often redefine our neighbors based on our comfort and prejudices. Drawing from my own spiritual experiences, I share insights on how spirituality should serve as a catalyst for love and understanding, not a justification for hate and division. Together, we'll learn to view our opposition as the model neighbor, invoking the spirit of grace as Jesus did.
