As a result, there were always people \u201cat home\u201d who were not necessarily related to us by blood but whom we still considered part of our family. And even though our blood family lived far away, we nevertheless grew up in the company of many \u201ccousins,\u201d \u201caunts\u201d and \u201cuncles.\u201d Not to mention that the church, by extension, was also our home, our family.<\/p>\n<p>The familiar refrain from Psalm 23:6, \u201cI shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long,\u201d was a reality in our lives. There was something going on at church seven days a week, be it Sunday school and Sunday morning and afternoon worship and the churchwide meal that was scheduled in between. And then throughout the week there were choir rehearsals, midweek prayer and Bible study, youth group, Presbyterian Women and Presbyterian Men gatherings, events held at the church by other local organizations and Saturday church cleanup. Christian hospitality was expressed and experienced by all God\u2019s people every day.<\/p>\n<p>One of the words for \u201chospitality\u201d in the New Testament Greek is <em>philoxenia<\/em>. It is a combination of <em>phileo<\/em> (kinship love) and <em>xenos<\/em> (stranger), meaning \u201ccaring for or loving strangers.\u201d Christian hospitality also denotes <em>agape<\/em> love, which is God\u2019s love for all people.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, the genuine welcoming of one another that has been so characteristic of Christian identity through the ages is less and less evident in society.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1876\" style=\"width: 428px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1876\" class=\" wp-image-1876\" src=\"https:\/\/www.presbyterianmission.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/8EC52A7B-3DB2-4395-8D14-04B0EA515BA8-500x264.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"418\" height=\"221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/centernet.pcusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/8EC52A7B-3DB2-4395-8D14-04B0EA515BA8-500x264.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/centernet.pcusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/8EC52A7B-3DB2-4395-8D14-04B0EA515BA8-1024x541.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/centernet.pcusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/8EC52A7B-3DB2-4395-8D14-04B0EA515BA8-1536x811.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/centernet.pcusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/8EC52A7B-3DB2-4395-8D14-04B0EA515BA8-1000x528.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/centernet.pcusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/8EC52A7B-3DB2-4395-8D14-04B0EA515BA8-1500x792.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/centernet.pcusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/8EC52A7B-3DB2-4395-8D14-04B0EA515BA8.jpeg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 418px) 100vw, 418px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1876\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The congregation of Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Montgomery, AL, takes a &#8220;family photo&#8221; alongside the sign that they believe encompasses the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the wide welcome they work to extend to all.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In a world driven by xenophobia, or fear of the stranger, we are called more than ever to extend God\u2019s hospitality to the stranger, the poor, the ones we see as different or undeserving, even the ones with whom we disagree, and embrace all people as beloved family members.<\/p>\n<p>Our call is to welcome one another as Christ has welcomed us. This kind of welcome becomes our opportunity to love our neighbors, near and far, as God has loved us.<\/p>\n<p>Christian hospitality should reflect the ministry of Jesus extending God\u2019s love to all God\u2019s people. Jesus welcomed and befriended people whom we might label as undesirable and of ill repute, people with whom many wouldn\u2019t want to be associated.<\/p>\n<p>We find several instances in the gospel on how often Jesus welcomed people who were excluded. These people included sinners, lepers and foreigners, as well as those possessed by demons. Some of Jesus\u2019 closest companions were people from the margins, the \u201cleast of these,\u201d and also the reviled tax collectors. And it is these people from \u201cdisreputable backgrounds\u201d with whom Jesus broke bread, one of the most tangible expressions of hospitality.<\/p>\n<p>Even though God\u2019s family may not look like us, or speak the same language, or have our same traditions or worldview, as Christians we are called to express a sincere welcome to all. May we, then, extend Christ\u2019s extravagant and generous hospitality by embracing all God\u2019s people and saying to them, \u201cMi casa es su casa.\u201d (My home is your home.) \u201cMi iglesia es su iglesia.\u201d (My church is your church.) Let us welcome one another just as Christ has welcomed us, and endeavor to dwell together in God\u2019s house our whole lives long.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Rev.
