This so reminds me of the story in Luke 10:29 where after Jesus had said, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” A man wanted Him to give a comprehensive definition of just who constituted a neighbor. That’s because first-century Jews had various ideas about who was included in the category of neighbor…limiting the term to community, clan, or religious affiliation. And the same goes for today…it’s easy to love people within familiar groups. It’s a lot harder to move outside the comfortable confines of what we know and tell the world about Jesus. But just warming a pew every Sunday will never fulfill The Great Commission…for Jesus said “Go and make disciples of all nations…” (Matthew 28:19)
