MEANING OF HOSPITALITY
Hospitality means helping and caring for visitors. When we show hospitality, we should do it willingly and with love, because the Bible says that we should practice hospitality without complaining.
The need for hospitality
There are people who might be far from home, or who suddenly get into difficult situations. Examples are travellers and accident victims or victims of an armed robbery attack. Such people need to be helped by anybody that comes across them.
There is a story in the Bible about a Jewish man who was travelling from Jerusalem to Jericho and was attacked by robbers. They took everything he had and left him badly wounded by the roadside. His fellow
Jews saw him and did not help him. It was a Samaritan who helped the man. Samaritans were hated by the Jews. What the Samaritan did was the hospitality and that is why he is called the Good Samaritan in the Bible.
We have some poor or less privileged people among us who do not even have food, clothes and shelter and are, therefore, in need of help. Examples are orphans, abandoned children, and widows. We also have sick people that need to be cared for, especially HIV/AIDS patients and physically challenged people like the lame and the blind.
