‘Hello Neighbor’
Truth does not exclusively belong to anyone anymore than that God belongs to all men and all men belongs to God. This is the type of statement that an intellectual would phrase in search of enlightenment.
Here we have a lawyer and Jesus toying with each other and it’s all for our learning.
Good God
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
Good Neighbor
He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise.”
Intellectually speaking, who is God?
God is who we worship with everything we are and have.
Instead of worshipping who we are for the things we possess.
Who is my neighbor?
Your neighbor is the person who share in all that they are and have. In as much as we do unto the least of the brethren you do it unto Jesus because He identified with all man. Himself being the Son of the living God.
Is Jesus a good neighbor or is He the Lord thy God?
He is both the Lord our God and our good neighbor. He is fully God and fully man accomplishing things that only God and man could. For example salvation for a man.
Many think that to love God is to identify with Him like Jesus does. There is only one begotten Son Of God. The first of many brethren. The rest of us are fellow servants of each other unto God. Often we hate on the person we see and can identify with. Thinking so much more of ourselves than we ought to. High minded, proud and uppity we make enemies of anyone who reminds us that we are all victims here in need of a good neighbor.
When it’s all said and done we who love God will find it possible to be a good neighbor and even love our enemies.
