Be Hospitable!

Hebrews 13:2 reads, "Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by doing so some people have entertained angels without knowing it."

Leon Morris writes, "The writer is not advocating hospitality on the off chance that one might happen to receive an angel as guest but rather because God is pleased when believers are hospitable. Sometimes unexpectedly happy results follow acts of hospitality. It was highly esteemed in the ancient world and was certainly very important for Christians. Accommodation at inns was expensive, and in any case inns had a bad reputation. But as Christian preachers traveled around, believers gave them lodging and so facilitated their mission. Without hospitality in Christian homes, the spread of the faith would have been much more difficult."

The truth is clear. God uses the acts of hospitality of Christians to spread His love. Look for ways to invite guests into your home.

Blessings!
