In the first week of this series, we will be reminded, by Jesus Himself, of who are neighbor is. This radical teaching caught many hearers by surprise and it is this same radical love that believers today are called to carry out. No matter what age, skin color, country of origin, language spoken, political alliance, sexual orientation, or religious views we as Christians are called to love our neighbors, pray for our enemies, and follow the example of our Savior who came not to be served but to serve and give His life as a ransom for many.
