Hospitality isn\\u2019t really about the things at all. We think of hospitalityas serving nice food or using fancy dishes. Or having clean carpets and drawers. But true hospitality is not about these things. It\\u2019s about sharing your life with others. Being involved with their everyday existence. Eating together. Hanging out. Relaxing. Working.\\nJesus demonstrated this by taking on human nature and dwelling among us (John 1:14). He wants to share His whole life with His people and to participate in our lives. In fact, when He returns, He will never stop living with us, forever and ever (Revelation 21:1-5).\\nSo you don\\u2019t need a fancy guest room to share in the lives of others.
