A Neighbour: A Layman’s Guide to True Christianity! 

 

Luke 10

KJV

29+ But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

 

When you see

Someone in need 

You don’t ask, of 

His name, His tribe, why, 

And how come!

You meet his/her need first! 

 

When you see 

Someone thirsty

You don’t ask of 

His name, tribe, why, 

And how come?  

You give him a drink!  

 

When you see

Someone naked 

You don’t ask for 

His name, tribe, why,

And how come! 

You clothe Him! 

 

When you see

Someone unemployed 

You don’t ask of his

Name, tribe, the why,

And how come,

You employ him! 

If He/she is qualified. 

 

Use this to check your claim of being a neighbour. Actions based on prejudices, biases, tribalism, etc does not define or answer the question “ who is my neighbour! “ 

 

Anyone who is in need is a neighbour, it is your response that defines and answers the question “ who is my neighbour?”
