Who is my neighbour?

Luke 10:25 One day an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus by asking him this question: “Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?” (The future hope Daniel 12:2)
Jesus replied, “What does the law of Moses say? How do you read it?”
The man answered, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
“Right!” Jesus told him. “Do this and you will live!” (The promised [and now] present reality)
The man wanted to justify his actions, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
Jesus replied with a story: “A Jewish man was traveling from Jerusalem down to Jericho, and he was attacked by bandits. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him up, and left him half dead beside the road.
“By chance a priest came along. But when he saw the man lying there, he angled across to the other side of the road and passed him by. A Temple Levite walked over and looked at him lying there, but he also passed by on the other side. Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him. Going over to him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive oil and wine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn, where he took care of him. The next day he handed the innkeeper two silver coins, telling him, ‘Take care of this man. If his bill runs higher than this, I’ll pay you on my way back.’ Now which of these three would you say was a neighbor to the man who was attacked by bandits?” Jesus asked.
The man replied, “The one who showed him mercy.”Then Jesus said, “Yes, now go and do the same.” !!!

The lawyer wanted eternal life, and he knew the Old Testament truth of it, but how to love a neighbour came as a surprise to him. He did not know what neighbour meant - plesion; - near, close.
Jesus is preparing this man to live the Eternal life that Jesus came to give his life for, so that he could live within him and through him. Jesus was the Good Samaritan and was to become the hidden life of every human being. (Colossians 3:3)

But that means we need to see Jesus hidden in everyone else. This is ‘your neighbour as yourself’ talk.
We are all the man beaten up by bandits and in need of rescue. We are all also (through grace and faith) becoming the Good Samaritan having been rescued and restored and paid for and now reaching out to others in need. This man needed to get a revelation of Ethnic consciousness, which is very hard for a Lawyer of the Jewish religion. It is also more difficult than it may seem for all of us. (Teenage independence and responsibility) Gal 3:28. Tribalism was the old reality and Oneness is the new reality. And so true humanity can emerge in our oneness and communion (Ephesians 4:3,4).

This is God’s vision for us, and for himself in the earth. But while ever we are isolated in our tribalism like the religious lawyer we blur and obscure that vision for him and for ourselves.
When someone starts having a conversation with Jesus about inheriting Eternal life then Jesus gets serious and says ‘Do you really want to know about this ‘Eternal Life’ business?
