So, who is my neighbor? Jesus' answer is simple: the person God places in front of you today. Sometimes that person lives in your own home or just across the street. Sometimes they're sitting beside you at work. Sometimes they're a stranger whose name you'll never know. We won't be able to help everyone, but we can refuse to walk past the one God has placed in our path.
