Hospitality

 Matthew 25:35-36 ESV

For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.


Salvation is 100% of the Lord. This doesn't mean to say however that we simply pray the sinner's prayer and carry on business as usual. If we belong to Jesus, our lives will transform.

As the family of God, we're to look out for one another. There's no lone rangers in the kingdom of heaven. Even the Apostle Paul had a great team around him, he wasn't just a maverick.

If we belong to Jesus, we will help look after our brethren. By doing so, we will honour our Lord. If we see one of our brethren in need, we should do something about it.

Of course, Jesus is referring to physical, embodied ministry. He's not saying we have to be gullible and get scammed online. We're to bless those physically around us, primarily.

'Sovereign Lord, help us put our faith into practice. May we love you not just in word only but in action. For your glory we pray, amen'.
