dc.description.abstractJesus is often presented in the New Testament, especially in the Gospels as being preoccupied with his encounter with the Pharisees and Scribes. In most of the encounters, the Pharisees and Scribes make conscious effort to prevent Jesus from carrying out his mission of compassion and love. However, Jesus being an obedient Son of God does not relent in doing God’s will. Jesus narrates the parable of the Good Samaritan as an invitation for everyone to participate consciously and actively in his mission of showing love and compassion to one another. Sometimes, however, we are so engross in our own needs that we even fail to care and help our neighbours who are in dire need. Thus, the purpose of this work is basically to explore the message of the parable of the Good Samaritan, that is, “how to become a neighbour?” through an exegetical analysis of Luke 10:25-37. By applying the parable to the Nigerian Christians, we change the question, from “who is my neighbour?” to “are we neighbourly?” Are we friendly, kind, helpful, compassionate, charitable, merciful, considerate, caring, cooperating, and amicable? Do we love our fellow human beings as we love ourselves?en_US
