HOSPITALITY lies very near the heart of who we are as Christians and what we should be about as the followers of Jesus. Hospitality is the heart of God’s love for each one of us, and God wants us to be with Him.
The theologian William Willimon writes that Christianity’s default position is hospitality. We are prejudiced towards hospitality, because that’s the way God treated us, and how we are supposed to treat others. At God’s table all are welcome.
