When Hospitality Is Way beyond Friends

People today tend to think of hospitality as something they do for friends and relatives—having them over for a meal or taking them out for dinner. But in the ancient world, hospitality is what one did for strangers, people they did not know or did not know if they could fully trust (see Romans 12:13; 1 Timothy 5:10; Hebrews 13:2; 3 John 8)!4

God invites and demands that God’s people be a people of hospitality. So what’s at stake? A church or individual that does not practice hospitality misunderstands the identity of the Triune God and, as a result, the very meaning of Christian identity and life.
