Angels over for dinner

Monday September 3rd, Hebrews 13: 1 Keep on loving each other as sisters and brothers. 2 Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it. 3 Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering. The twofold commandment to love God and love others is, according to Christ, the culmination of all the Law and prophets, it is the summation of the gospel. Loving others sounds good on paper, doing it however, takes work. Loving others as a sister or brother means getting to know them as one would get to know a brother or sister. Entertaining strangers, even those with whom you may not see eye to eye, just might mean you are entertaining angels, it might also mean that you have just welcomed in someone who is downright weird, or perhaps even dangerous, but you won’t know that until you get to know them. It all comes down to getting to know them.
