Luke 10 | Ronn Johnson | Ordinary Time | July 14, 2019

Ronn takes us future into the story of Luke 10 with Jesus' story of the Good Samaritan and Jesus' uncomfortable question, "Who, do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?" Ronn maintains that what Jesus was asking the teacher of the law was, "Are you actually going to love the person you're uncomfortable with?" Loving God/loving others had been the Jewish scriptures for millennia; it was not a foreign concept - just very, very challenging for them then, and for us in 2019. We who struggle to love the "other", that person or class of people of whom we disapprove or dislike - we're not alone.
