WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR?

   Today it is commonly thought that all human beings, without distinction, are others. When the Master Jesus (Yeshua) taught that it should love his neighbor as himself, someone asked: And who is my neighbor? In response the Messiah who intimated that is integral with one, that's the neighbor. But on the other hand, he instructed his disciples to ... "if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the publicans the same? "(Mt.5.46)

   Although it seems a contradiction, I think are encouraged to develop and express special gratitude to those who help us. However, we could sinter conclude this comment with St. Paul said: "Let us not grow weary in doing good; for in due season we shall reap if we faint not. So, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those of the household of faith. " (Gá.6.9-10).

    the context is extended, this reconfirms the fact that the "younger brothers" and who should seek greater solidarity (Matthew 25. 40), are those who do the will of God (Mr.3. 31-35).

    Moreover, we are exhorted Christians to be as members of one body, so ... "we no longer be children, carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men in their deceitful craftiness the wiles error, but speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into him who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every joint help each other, according to the activity own of each individual part, grows and builds itself in love. "(Eph 4. 14-16).

   In other words, we must organize for mutual aid in pursuit of the common good (He.13.16). But, what is the retarding factor, if not paralyzing, which does not allow this prospect to become a reality in the midst of so much need? Undoubtedly it is the love of money by those with selfishness and greed funneled to themselves the economic resources of believers (2-P.2. 1-3)
