Prejudice and Its Challenges
Why is it Hard to Love?
What is Prejudice?
People in Jesus' time struggled to love Samaritans because of old disagreements. Jesus taught us to overcome this and care for all.
Prejudice means unfairly judging people because of who they are. It can stop us from loving our neighbours.
Institutions that Improve Lives
Food banks, schools, and charities help many people. They work for the common good by supporting the needs of the wider community.
How Christians Show 'Love Thy Neighbour'
Christians follow Jesus by helping others, giving to charity, and standing up for those who are treated unfairly.
