When the lawyer in Luke 10 says, "Who's my neighbor?" What he's really saying is, "Whom don't I have to love? Whom can I get with not having to go out of my way for? Surely not a Samaritan. Surely not a Gentile."
The answer Christ gives him is "Your neighbor potentially anybody but is specifically the person that God providentially places in your path with a need."
The person with the broken down car, the person with too many bags of grocery.
The person who's lost a loved one -- that's your neighbor.
