Open your eyes, people around you are crying for help only you can give. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. (Hebrews 13:2 ESV) In a city like NY, it’s so easy to get lost and forget that the bodies moving in asynchronous motion around you are actually people whose stories and lives have a rippling effect in the society we dwell in. So, in our callousness and coldness, we ignore them and their needs because our own manic desires and cries. The writer of this letter to the Hebrews is acutely aware of that tendency. The writer is addressing the weariness of life that is starting to show in the faces and hearts of the Hebrew believers living in a persecuted period of time. The writer wants to tell them that the difficulties of life, as we/they know it, are not and will not be defining moments of failure, but rather iconic moves of faithful fortitude in the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Therefore, we all need to stop for a moment and open our eyes to look around at the people standing besides us. We need to stop showing signs of weariness and start showing signs of welcome-ness. Are you ready to open yourself up to provide people with the hospitality Jesus shows us daily?
