For many of us the Pandemic caused us to self-isolate…out of fear, anxiety, and mandate. But sadly, many of us are still in that seclusion mode. We continue to work from home, rarely go out, and wouldn’t even think of inviting people into our safe cocoon. We’ve become accustomed to and even draw comfort from our cloistered and solitary lifestyle where we can control our environment. But this Scripture tells us to practice hospitality. That’s because Biblical hospitality is a generous & gracious reception of guests into our homes and more importantly into our lives…and thus opening up ourselves in a transparent & honest candor. Now while the world’s definition of hospitality is self-centered, closed off, selective, selfish and only done when & if we feel like it, we are to welcome one another as Christ has welcomed us. (Romans 15:7) For to love one another as brothers & sisters in Christ, we need to practice hospitality.
