Hospitality “philoxenia” in Greek. It means love for strangers. It is love in action, by making others feel welcomed and valued. Abraham hosted God and His angels in Genesis 18. And his hospitality presents for us lessons on 1. The Conduct of Hospitality. 2. The Contrast of Hospitality. 3. The Commendation of Hospitality. But most of all, let us also be reminded about the greatest hospitality of all when Jesus gave Himself on the cross, that we who were aliens and strangers, indeed enemies, are welcomed into the family of God. May this sermon help you to know and live out the heart of God. May we as a church grow in generous and humble hospitality.
