A GOOD NEIGHBOUR
Bible: Luke 10:29-37
Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one
another (1 JOHN 4:11).
Reading
In June 2011, when floodwaters chased the people of Minot, USA, from their homes, the whole community did what seemed to come naturally to them—they helped others who were in need. People from more than an hour away, without being asked, showed up to help. Some loaned their
caravans to those who lost their homes and others allowed their garages to be used for temporary storage. The people of that community were showing what it means to be good neighbours.
As followers of Jesus, being good neighbours—showing love to others— should come naturally to us too (MATTHEW 22:39; JOHN 13:35; 1 JOHN 4:7-11). Even though we may not have the opportunity to respond in a dramatic way to a natural disaster, we can all look for ways to love those around us on a daily basis. To be good neighbours, we can show others mercy (LUKE 10:29-37), treat others fairly (LEVITICUS 19:13-18; JAMES 2:1-8), speak truthfully (EPHESIANS 4:25) and
forgive others completely (EPHESIANS 4:32; COLOSSIANS 3:13).
Christians can be the best neighbours around because our love for others flows out of the life of the ultimate neighbour—Jesus Christ—who sacrificed Himself for us.
To pray about . . .
Jesus, may my instincts to others be the same as Yours. I want to look to help and show love to anyone who is struggling.
OUR LOVE FOR JESUS IS ONLY AS REAL AS
