Hospitality is often seen as a bland practice of politeness or an invitation to be harmed by a stranger.
Biblical hospitality is different.
God's call to love the stranger is neither boring nor dangerous. Instead, it is an invitation to experience God in a new way. Not in a way that depletes our energy, but always in a way where two become three, as God joins us at the table. People usually don't expect surprises. Yet biblical hospitality, the call to love the stranger, guarantees that a surprise is just around the corner.
