Here's a photo that came up from Flickr when I google-imaged "entertaining angels unaware." It's an encouragement taped by someone to a public phone. It included the encouragement to "Be careful how you treat people, you just might be entertaining angels unaware. You see, the person that you hate, or look down on, could be your blessing."
By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. [Hebrews 11:9-10]
There's that tent thing again that I'm so fond of. Live in a tent for a week if you never have and then read the tent scriptures. You'll have a whole new view after week. It will give you a new perspective of how we should view our stay here in the body on earth.
By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites from Eqypt and gave instructions about his bones. [Hebrews 11:22]
Ah, it's December and we've come full circle. We're back to Joseph's bones.
Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it. [Hebrews 13:2]
How do we entertain angels? In church? In Bible study? In meditation on scripture? No, by entertaining strangers...in benevolence. We come in contact with angels in the field of service and not the sanctuary of religion.
