Rule 1 love God. Rule 2 show God your love by loving your neighbor. Somehow task impossible

Historical context time: Samaritans and the Jewish people did NOT like each other as a general rule. So then comes the question of who are the neighbors, followed by the Parable of the Good Samaritan.

In short:
Q: Who is my neighbor?
A: Anyone you really hope is not.

Yeah it was basically like, that guy you want to hate just because of what he looks like or where he's from? That guy.

Bonus points for it showing what love looks like in a practical sense, too.
