Welcoming Homes

On the front deck of our home, we have a big mat outside the front door that says, “Welcome.” How many of your homes have a similar rug or sign? There’s something about wanting to truly have welcoming homes, especially as Christians! In Genesis today, Abraham welcomes his guests, prepares a lavish feast for them, and even waits on them. However, when God visits homes (Abraham’s and ours), He comes not to be blessed but to bless, just as Jesus blessed the homes of Levi, Martha, and Zacchaeus. Knowing Jesus through eyes of faith, we joyfully open our homes to this Guest and say, “Come, Lord Jesus, be our Guest, and let our homes by You be blessed. Amen.”
