2010 Winter Update!-VanFossen - Service? Neighbor? During each of my two visits to Guyana, I observed many in the interior who had little in the way of material possessions. Even the “poor” in the U.S. have much more than they. In a previous article I explored the criteria Jesus used to define what a neighbor is in the story of the Good Samaritan. It has become clear to me that need, not proximity, defines our neighbor. Service defines what it means to be a neighbor to the one in need. What I possess is for me to manage in a way that will encourage others toward a relationship with Jesus Christ. The devil’s trap is for me to use my God-given time in managing possessions for personal gratification. The parable of “The Rich Man and Lazarus” comes to mind. A careful study of this parable brings a certain amount of self-condemnation because the message becomes clear as to my own lack of sensitivity to the needs of those around me.
