Hospitality

“We must not miss this. The Bible directs followers of God to show warmth and kindness to the outsiders. Israel is to do this because they were strangers and because God cares for the outsider. In the New Testament, the church is to do this because the way we treat foreigners is the way we treat Jesus.” - P&D
