Jesus asks, “Who was this man’s neighbor?” But there’s also an underlying question that Jesus is asking, “Do you see your neighbor?” It’s one thing to acknowledge that you are neighbors to everyone else. It’s something entirely different to “see” your neighbor. And the truth is, you can’t actually be a neighbor unless you first see your neighbor. And “seeing” your neighbor means loving that person as much as you love yourself. In today’s parable, the Samaritan saw his neighbor and he loved him – despite their differences.
