(In
this Second one I find Abraham’s Heart Of Hospitality)
Chris.
Hospitality
ministers to those being served in many different ways. In the case of Abraham
and the Angels it was to do with strength for the journey which they had to
take. I will not make a long list of reasons for giving hospitality. It is a
very selfless Ministry and those people who give it with a pure heart and pure
motives will be Blessed.
