The Holy Resistance of Hospitality
Manage episode 288250442 series 1100589
Acts 6:1-7 — When you sit down at the table with people who don’t think like you, act like you and look like you, except that you all follow Jesus, that is an act of holy resistance (philoxenos). In the early church, hospitality - the love of the stranger, or the one who is not like you - was taught as an important way of protecting the bond of peace in the body of Christ. How much more important is it in our modern hyper-individualistic society today!? What if our radical hospitality towards one another, even in our differences, was sufficiently counter-cultural that we shone like lights for Jesus and grew healthy, life-filled communities of disciples?
