Seeing our neighbors through God’s eyes.

Matthew 9:1-42 NLT

Proverbs 3:28 NLT 

If you can help your neighbor now, don’t say, “Come back tomorrow, and then I’ll help you,”

Jesus' compassion for his neighbors was fueled by how he saw them.

Application: 

Allow Holy Spirit to help you see people and meet their needs where He leads you.

This lane is all about the parable of the Good Samaritan. The “expert in the law” wanted to justify being able to exclude seeing some people as his neighbor thus excusing himself from being neighborly toward them. Jesus uses a parable to answer the questions, who is our neighbor and how can we be a good neighbor? We are tempted to turn our neighbors into an “other” and treat them in a way that does not honor God or their sacredness.

Seeing our neighbors through God’s eyes.

Luke 10:25-37 NIV

Being neighborly is not limited to a neighborhood. 

Application: 

Start off by smiling and saying hi to people as you pass by. Be thoughtful about how you could be generous and kind. Be the kind of neighbor you wish your neighbor was.

Being a good neighbor begins with seeing our neighbor as God sees them, made in the image of God.  

Seeing our neighbors through God’s eyes.

Genesis 1:26-27 ESV

26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

How you love your neighbor depends on who you see when you look at them.

Application: 

We can all think of people we struggle to see as made in the image of God. Pray before interacting with people each day asking God to help you see them as He does.
