For example the Jews despise the Samaritan. For instance Jews treated the Samaritan like dogs and Samaritan felt same . The Samaritan woman illustrates this point in John 4 ;9 “How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaritan?” For the have no dealings with Samaritans. Or In John 4:2 the disciple marvelled that he was talking with a woman, who was Samaritan and immoral in verse 26 Jesus revealed that He was the Messiah It Good Samaritan who gave aide not the priest or the Levite

We must say to ourselves something like this: ‘Well, when Jesus looked down from the cross, he didn’t think “I am giving myself to you because you are so attractive to me.” No, he was in agony, and he looked down at us – denying him, abandoning him, and betraying him – and in the greatest act of love in history, he STAYED. He said, “Father, forgive them, they don’t know what they are doing.” He loved us, not because we were lovely to him, but to make us lovely. That is why I am going to love my neighbour as myself

The question is do I love my neighbour unfortunately I miss the mark in this area I do love the my neighbours nor do love the Lord God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, As the declares, For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing.
