Do
Not Forget To Show Hospitality
Keep on loving one
another as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to
strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without
knowing it.
Hebrews
13:1-2
The writer of the book of
Hebrews concluded his thoughts with some exhortations for community life,
including that his readers should continue to welcome strangers. For in doing
so, “some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.”
People do not know they
are entertaining angels who bring them a message of blessing.
We don’t ask people into
our homes in the hope of gaining from them, but often we receive more than we
give. May the Lord spread His love through us as we reach out with His welcome.
When
we practice hospitality, we share God’s goodness and gifts.
