    The document discusses the Parable of the Good Samaritan and what it teaches about who our neighbor is. It notes that it is often easy to feel those close to us and similar to us are neighbors, such as family, friends, and others of our religion and area. However, it can be more difficult to feel that strangers, foreigners, people of different faiths or who look different are also neighbors. The conclusion is that everyone is our neighbor according to God, regardless of attributes like wealth, race, gender, age, beliefs, nation, or language.

    Who is my

    Neighbour?
    Think back to the Parable of the Good
    Samaritan we watched yesterday.

    What does it teach us about who our


    neighbour is?
    It’s often EASY to feel that those who are close to us and like us are
    our neighbours:

    our families our friends people who share our religion people in our area

    It’s often MORE DIFFICULT to feel that other people


    are our neighbours:

    strangers foreigners people of different faiths people who look different


    Everyone is my Neighbour
    Almighty God and Father of us all, help us
    to see that everyone is made in your
    image – rich and poor, black and white,
    male and female, elderly or unborn, of
    every belief and nation and language.
    Help us to show to each and every person
    we meet the love of Jesus Christ our Lord,
    Amen.
