(Luk 10:29 KJV) But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
It’s too bad that Jesus wasn’t around in the days of modern advertising campaigns. He might have given a different answer.
As I checked the mail this morning, I noticed an envelope addressed “our neighbor.” I had a moment of interest, because when the people across the street moved in, they sent us a note addressed that way. That interest quickly dissolved when I realized what was designed to look like a handwritten address was really just a font available to everyone who has a word processor.
My second point of information came by checking the postmark, Minneapolis. Now I don’t know about you, but I don’t think of people living in Minneapolis as my neighbor. Jesus might have disagreed. In fact, when he talked about the neighbors, he was probably including just about everybody in the world because we are supposed to be concerned about everybody in the world up to a point. With that concession in mind, I repeat, I don’t think this applies to people living in Minneapolis who are selling windows.
Feel free to disagree. You might be my neighbor. Window companies based in Minnesota need not apply.
