Entertaining Angels: #morehospitality
Series: Angels Among Us (Advent 2022)
Preacher: Pastor Scott Johnson
Date: 1st January 2023
Passage: Luke 2:1-20
-------------------
"Let mutual affection continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it." -Hebrews 13: 1-2
On this day, when the baby is lying in the manger, doing what one-day-old babies do (which is not much except eat, sleep, cry, and well... you know... get the digestive system going), we will hear two scriptures that refer to angels and hospitality to strangers. This is an important connection. Jesus would grow up to make hospitality to strangers one of his main preaching points. He made these points with his life and his words - practicing what he preached around tables where he invited the most unlikely of guests. On this day, we are called to remember all those who may feel like strangers today - people who need our hospitality for their lives to be more hopeful, more peaceful, more joyful, and full of more love.
