What is hospitality?
The practice of receiving and extending friendship to strangers
Travelers would frequently go to an open place and wait for an invitation (Gen.
19:1–3; Judg.
19:15–21) The strangers would first be tested because of their potential to pose a threat to the host or community (Gen.
19:5; Josh.
2:2).
Because people’s feet would get dirty from traveling in sandals, the host would provide water to wash the feet (Gen.
18:4; 19:2; 24:32; Judg.
19:21).
This custom provided the point of transformation of the traveler from stranger to guest.

Thus Simon the Pharisee failed in his duty as host when he did not offer to wash Jesus’ feet (Luke 7:44).
This was not merely an oriental custom or good manners but a sacred duty that everyone was expected to observe.
Only the depraved would violate this obligation.
Hospitality probably grew out of the needs of nomadic life.
Since public inns were rare, a traveler had to depend on the kindness of others and had a right to expect it.
This practice was extended to every sojourner, even a runaway slave (Deut.
23:15–16) or one’s archenemy.
When we show hospitality...
St. Benedict upheld that "hospitality maintains a prominence in the living (Christian) tradition . . . the guest represents Christ and has a claim on the welcome and care of the community."
In other words, if we love one another, God abides in us and His love is perfected within us and is showered on those with whom we come in contact.

When we show hospitality...
...we imitate the Father.

ESV
“When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong.
You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
ESV

But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you.
For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”
ESV
After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Aramaic called Bethesda, which has five roofed colonnades.
In these lay a multitude of invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed.
The Bible Knowledge Commentary 13:5
13:5.
Foot-washing was needed in Palestine.
The streets were dusty and people wore sandals without socks or stockings.
It was a mark of honor for a host to provide a servant to wash a guest’s feet; it was a breach of hospitality not to provide for it
...we receive potential blessings .
ESV
The two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom.
When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and bowed himself with his face to the earth and said, “My lords, please turn aside to your servant’s house and spend the night and wash your feet.
Then you may rise up early and go on your way.”
They said, “No; we will spend the night in the town square.”
But he pressed them strongly; so they turned aside to him and entered his house.
And he made them a feast and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
ESV
So it was that, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, God remembered Abraham and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow when he overthrew the cities in which Lot had lived.
ESV
And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?
And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’
And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’
When we fail to show hospitality...
…we disobey God.
ESV
When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you?
You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am.
If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you.
…we miss a blessing .
Encyclopedia of 7700 Illustrations 6682 The Lonely Traveler’s Church Visit
Many years ago a lonely traveler stopped one Sunday morning for the worship service at the Andersonville Methodist Church in Georgia.
After the service he was warmly greeted by the people.
He was never seen there again.
Not long ago, in Washington, New Jersey, Robert B. Brown, age ninety, died.
Someone commented, “He was a thrifty man who kept to himself.”
Mr. Brown bequeathed his entire estate to the Andersonville Methodist Church.
His estate consisted of 2,100 shares in American Telephone and Telegraph Company and 740 shares of Continental Can Company stock.
At the time of Mr. Brown’s death, the stocks were worth $178,302, 50.
