When Jesus tells the story of the man who was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, he was trying to make a point about who our neighbors are. These are the ones who’ve been left by the side of the road; beaten, battered and left for dead. The ones that those of us who care about changing the world often think of first – those in need of living wage jobs, safe and stable housing, good school for their children and the opportunity to live out the American dream. We want the world to change for these folks. But too often, we never even see them.
