MESSAGE
To be hospitable means to know how to entertain guests. Hospitality has many benefits: hospitable people don’t suffer permanent loss. For example, in 1 Kings 17:17-24, the widow of Zarephath would have lost her son, however, because of her hospitality, she didn’t. Also in Genesis 18:1-14, Abraham received heavenly visitors, and the pending promise of a son was fulfilled. In addition, in Genesis 19:1-12, Lot warmly welcomed angels who came in the form of men and delivered him and his family from the fire that destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
Hospitable people are generous, homely and humble. They may not have much, but they present the little they have with a smile and love to their guests. The comfort of their guests is paramount to them, so they ensure the guest room is tidy, healthy meals are presented on time, et cetera. My wife always does these all the time, and we have never lacked. The truth is hospitality can win the souls of unbelievers around you to Christ even without preaching to them.
REFLECTION:
How hospitable are you?
HYMN 21 – I Want To Be Like Jesus
- I want to be like Jesus,
So lowly and so meek;
For no one mark’d an angry word,
That ever heard Him speak, - I want to be like Jesus,
So frequently in prayer;
Alone upon the mountain top,
He met his Father there. - I want to be like Jesus,
I never, never find
That He, though persecuted was
To anyone unkind. - I want to be like Jesus,
Engaged in doing good;
So that of me it may be said
“He hath done what he could.” - I want to be like Jesus,
Who sweetly said to all,
“Let little children come to Me;”
I would obey the call. - But oh I’m not like Jesus,
As anyone may see;
O gentle Saviour, send Thy grace,
And make me like to Thee
