Entertaining vs Hospitality?
I think many of us struggle with this .
Romas 12:13 commentary
Christian hospitality differs from social entertaining. The Home must be spotless the food must be well prepared, and abundant. The host must appear relaxed, and of good nature. Hospitality by contrast focuses on the guests needs,such as a place to stay, nourishing food, a listening ear or just acceptance. Hospitality can happen in a messy home. It can happen around a dinner table where the main dish is canned soup. It can even happen while the host and the guests are doing chores together. Don’t hesitate to offer hospitality just because you are too tired, too busy, or not wealthy enough to entertain.
