Hospitality Towards One Another

Capital City Christian Church | Podcast

This kind of hospitality, this offering of a friendship-love to strangers was kind of a big deal in a culture with all these nomads. A lot of people kind of moved around, they weren’t citizens of a town, or a country, and hospitality was a really big deal. And then there were the widows and the orphans, and others who were flat-out poor. And there were no governmental safety nets in that world. Without hospitality from good people, they’d be hosed. After all … that might be your wife someday, your kid someday, maybe even you someday. So, do for others, because someday you may need them to do for you. You see, hospitality was a really big deal in that world, but it was not always … “selfless.”
