Luke 10 the story of the Pharisee who asked Jesus “what must I do in order to inherit eternal life?” Jesus asks him; "what do the scriptures teach?" The pharisee then responds with; “love the Lord your God and love your neighbor as yourself.” Then Jesus says; "do this and you will live. Then there’s a key moment in the story where the pharisee goes; “who is my neighbor?”. It says in the narrative of the man before he asks this last question "wanting to justify himself". I think that’s where the problem lies many of us. We want to justify ourselves, justify actions, justify the choices that we make. As followers of Jesus we move past justifying ourselves to humility and recognizing our need for grace.
