On the other hand, we sometimes interpret "neighbour" to mean "the whole world", in which case it becomes such a vast task, that it overwhelms and we do nothing. "If you aim at everything, you'll hit nothing," the saying goes. But what if we actually took Jesus' command literally, and decided that Jesus really did want us to love those people who are right beside us, next door to us? Like the Good Samaritan who came to the rescue of the person right beside him, we too need look no further than our own neighbourhood for people love. Rather than delegate the job of caring for people to social agencies or government, Christians can literally change the world, and solve most of the social problems that plague us, simply by walking across the street, ringing the doorbell and showing Jesus' love to our neighbours. This week we begin a 5-week series on the Art of Neighbouring.
