Entertaining Angels

In Genesis 18 Abraham has a couple of visitors that he entertains and hosts beautifully. Turns out it was the angel of the Lord. He gets a blessing including the promise of a son, despite their age.

In Genesis 19 something similar happens... Lot hosts the same men/ angels and his family are saved from the destruction promised their city.

When we host people that come into our centre, could it be that we are hosting angels unknowingly? Could it be that we are blessed, or we are saved? Our hospitality and our service could have amazing and holy ramifications.

"Whatever you do for the least of these, you do it for me".
