What does it mean for Christians to be hospitable? How, in this
age of pressing deadlines and busy schedules, can we keep from sighing
with the heaviness of one more Christian duty? Hospitality is often
seen as a bland practice of politeness or an invitation to be harmed by
a stranger. Biblical hospitality is different. God's call to love
the stranger is neither boring nor dangerous. Instead, it is an
invitation to experience God in a new way. Not in a way that depletes
our energy, but always in a way where two become three, as God joins us
at the table. People usually don't expect surprises. Yet biblical
hospitality, the call to love the stranger, guarantees that a surprise
is just around the corner. The guest becomes the host. Givers receive
more than they give, God is seen in the most unlikely people. In the
process, we become guests of the most gracious Host of all. Book 2
