The Benefits of Hospitality

by Dave Quintana - Servants of the Word

And let's not forget that there is much to be gained in hosting well. Of course, we all know Bible stories of welcoming strangers and finding that you are hosting angels unaware or even holding conversation with Jesus himself. My dear Benedictine brothers' welcome packet informs guests that their rule commits them "to refresh you and send you back in peace". Let's not forget what a blessing guests can bring us. Can we not learn to receive each person the Lord brings to us as a gift of God? Each of them a divine messenger in some way? Each of them a divine appointment in some way? Each of them a divine blessing in some way? After all, it is more blessed to give than to receive.

Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. 1Pet 4:9 ESV
