If you look up the word “neighbor” in a dictionary, you’ll find definitions like: “a person living near or next door to the speaker or person referred to,” or “one living or located near another.”
Those are not the definitions that Jesus was thinking of when He told the story of the good Samaritan or the good “neighbor.” In the book of Luke, Ch. 10, Jesus provides us with a very clear picture of who a neighbor is and most importantly, what a neighbor does.
