Who is My Neighbor

Luke 10:29 "But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

The lawyer didn’t expect the answer Christ gave him. Rather than be embarrassed by Christ, he wanted to save face. As a result he asks one of the most ridiculous questions ever. But, he comes off looking smart, and others have asked the same question since.
This happens all the time. People are embarrassed by their inability to understand God. They think they should be able to outsmart Him. But we cannot. The Lord is so much more intelligent than the most intelligent of His created beings that there is absolutely no comparison.

Heavenly Father, You are so incredibly smart! We often forget just how amazingly clever you are. It isn’t a characteristic of You that we think about a lot. But, You are tremendously knowledgeable, and wise beyond all reckoning. Thank You for Your Omniscience! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
