In Luke 10, when a lawyer asks Jesus "who is my neighbor?" to justify himself, Jesus responds with the parable of the Good Samaritan—illustrating the superiority of love over legalism. In this sermon, Josh unpacks what it truly means to be a neighbor: not a question to answer, but a calling to live out sacrificial love.
