What if Jesus was coming over for dinner?  Would you pull the leftovers out of the fridge or would you grill up your best steaks?  What if he was staying the night at your house?  Would you send him down to the basement with a sleeping bag or would you give him your own bed and sleep in the basement yourself?  I guarantee that you would treat Jesus as best as you possibly could.  John tell us to bottle up that type of hospitality and show it to gospel workers (missionaries, church planters, pastors, and teachers).  Join us as we not only look at John’s encouragement TO show hospitality, but also look at his explanation of HOW and WHY we should show hospitality  Sermon originally preached on January 8, 2011.
