Besides Mr. Rogers, the lawyer from Luke 10 is probably the most famous individual to ask “Who is my neighbor?” Jesus saw through the question, and flipped it on its head, asking instead, “Which person proved to be a neighbor?”
Isn’t this the only question that really matters? Our neighborly attitude shouldn’t be limited by culture or race, but by bandwidth. In other words, am I showing kindness and love and charity to as many people as possible, or only those I feel are worthy of it?

CloseThe Rechabites are a relatively obscure group of people, found only in Jeremiah 35. Descended from the Kenites, the Rechabites were given a very important commandment from their ancestor: Don't drink wine. As Jeremiah found out, they still followed this commandment nearly 300 years later. As for the Israelites? They wouldn't even listen to a command by God given five minutes ago. Obedience matters, but obedience begins with our willingness to listen in the first place.
