Verse from Hebrews

“不要忘了用爱心接待人，有人就是这样作，在无意中就款待了天使。”
‭‭希伯来书‬ ‭13:2‬ ‭

“Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13:2‬ ‭

The writer of the book of Hebrews concluded his thoughts with some exhortations for community life, including that his readers should continue to welcome strangers. He may have been referring to Abraham and Sarah, who as we see in Genesis 18:1–12 welcomed three strangers, reaching out to them with generosity and treating them to a feast, as was the custom in biblical times. They didn’t know that they were entertaining angels who brought them a message of blessing.

We don’t ask people into our homes in the hope of gaining from them, but often we receive more than we give. May the Lord spread His love through us as we reach out with His welcome.
