The Unknown Do-Gooder

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

(Hebrews 13:2)

It is so easy to neglect people you don’t know.  After all, they are strangers, and their well-being is none of your business unless you make it your business.  We must forcefully interject our love into the lives of our fellow man; hospitality to strangers isn’t the default behavior.  It is radical to look at those who aren’t your responsibility and determine that you will become concerned with their welfare.  Who does that anyways?  Jesus, that’s who.  Jesus chose to make our business His business and our welfare His concern.

Don’t neglect the opportunities to do good to those you don’t know.  You might just turn strangers into brothers.

Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
