“But Who Is My Neighbour?”
"Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbour to the man who fell among the robbers?”
He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise
(Luke 10:36-37)”.
Many of us are familiar with rural life. Long gravel roads, wheat fields, livestock, and a spread
of only a few houses on the horizon. Rural life is often associated with a slower pace, and a
greater sense of community with others.
One aspect of country living that some people are confused by is the way in which country
folk define their neighbours. “Well yes, that’s my neighbour, he lives just a few miles south, and
then two miles west.” That seems a little far away to have a nice conversation with someone on
the other side of the fence! The reality is, “neighbourhood” is not about location. Perhaps the
person you consider a neighbour is the one who has offered to help you out, the one who checks
in to ask, “what’s new?”, the one who lives down the hall, in the same building, grew up with you, or
attended the same school district as you in the 40’s. Though these people are all excellent
examples of neighbours, Jesus has some important insights to add.
In Luke 10:29-37, Jesus answers the question “who is my neighbour?”. He tells the story of a
Jewish man who is traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho. The man is attacked by robbers, stripped,
and badly beaten. A priest passes the man, but gives no help. So too, does a Levite, who also
offers no assistance. Finally, a Samaritan man, a mortal enemy of the Jew, sees the victim on the
side of the road. He stops to care for the wounded man, but his care doesn’t end there. The
Samaritan then brings him to safety at an Inn, and generously pays for the Jew’s stay until he is
healed.
This story would have challenged the original listeners 2000 years ago. In those days one’s
neighbour was defined by family connections; the failure of the priest and Levite to aid the Jew
would have been particularly shameful. But the Samaritan’s care for the injured Jew shows that we
are not to limit the definition of neighbour only to those who are like us. These men were
supposed to be enemies, yet one went out of his way to sacrificially care for the other.
I hope our connections to people go beyond the fun of discovering past relationships in our
family trees, or socializing only with those we enjoy talking to. We are not to pass by when we see
someone in need, even when it may feel uncomfortable to help them. Let us stop and respond in
love, whether they are friend or stranger. This kind of love responds by bending a knee, sharing a
word, listening in care, in obedience to Christ. Demonstrating this love proclaims Christ. What
would it look like if we all went out of our way to love and encourage our neighbours here in these
apartments? Or those we meet throughout our day?
God has made us new in Christ, called to love others for His glory.
Aaron Barkman, Chaplain
