Demonstrating God's Love to Your Neighbor - Sunday Review

The first question that must be addressed is one which was asked of Jesus one day by a skeptical lawyer; "Who is my neighbor?" Jesus answered this question with what is undoubtedly one of the most familiar parables in all of Holy writ, the parable of the Good Samaritan. (Luke 10:29-37) At the conclusion of the parable Jesus turned the question around as He replied to the lawyer with a question, "Who was neighbor to the man?" Isn't that really the question we should all be asking ourselves each day; "Who can I be neighbor too?"

Under direction from the Holy Spirit Paul employs five of the ten commands, numbers 7,6,8,9 and 10 (Exodus 20), and the second great commandment (Leviticus 19:18) to exhort us on how we can demonstrate God's love. How are you going to keep any of these commands let alone all of them without God's grace at work in your life? What is the key to receiving that grace? Humility! (1 Peter 5:5)
