A Good Neighbor and Racial Justice: Who is your neighbor? Chances are, when a lawyer in Luke 10 asked Jesus that question, he was not asking for another explanation of what loving his neighbor looked like. He wanted to know who he was obligated to love and who he could ignore. He didn’t want to be told that people who were different from him (Samaritans and non-Jews) also fit into the greatest commandments of love God and love your neighbor as yourself.
