Jesus deftly rejects the question “who is my neighbor?” and substitutes the only question really relevant here: “To whom will I be a neighbor?” And he knows that we can only answer this question case by case as we go through our days. In the morning we cannot yet know who our neighbor will be that day. The condition of our hearts will determine who along the path turns out to be our neighbor, and our faith in God will largely determine whom we have the strength enough to make our neighbor.
