It is easy to resent the demands placed upon us by proper etiquette, especially in the privacy of our own homes. Yet in biblical times, hospitality was paramount! We hear two stories of hospitality this week, each with its own focus but the same central idea: that we must be open to God. We must welcome him into our homes, our families, our communities, and our society. But there are so many parts of our lives we isolate from God… our politics, our social media presence, our workplaces. That misguided thinking encourages habits that run counter to God’s teaching… things like discrimination, cruelty, hostility, intolerance. Can we allow God into every part of our lives? It won’t be easy, but it will help us become better people, the people God intends us to be.
