Luke 10:29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbour?”
When the Good Samaritan asked Jesus how to inherit eternal life, He did not get the response he may have hoped for.
Christ does not give us eternal life because of anything we have done or can do; He gives us eternal life because we believe He will give it to us when we come to Him and ask His forgiveness for the things we do wrong.
If we want to do what Christ has asked of us, then we need to step out of our comfort zones and head for the people who need our help rather than those we wish to help out.
