—Genesis 18:9-14
by: Leota Stevens.
Abraham was clueless as to the identity of the men he was serving. Had he known with whom he shared his food, he might have fainted dead away. Abraham’s life, and the course of the entire world, was eternally changed through this encounter. Think about this for a moment. What if Abraham had not extended a hand of friendship and hospitality? What if he had been so concerned with his own little world that he couldn’t be bothered with the needs of others and had no time to be hospitable? There is a lesson to be learned from this passage of scripture.
