“Let Love, Hospitality, Remembrance”

“Let Love, Hospitality, Remembrance”

Blessings folk!

The Spirit now leads the writer of Hebrews to draw the letter to an end.
Rapid-fire commandments and instructions ensue.

Give heed, especially within the context of Hebrews 11 and 12.

Heb 13:1-3

Let love of the brethren continue.

Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers,
for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.

Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them,
and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves also are in the body.

Through the New Testament we see commands to love one another. Why a constant drumbeat of reminder?
Because love can be hard.
The enemy desires for the Body to be fragmented, powerless, a joke in the eyes of the world.
True love manifests the very Presence of the Most High.
Remember, Jesus said the word would know we are His disciples by our love for OneAnother.
This love must be pursued.
This love must be protected.
This love must continue.

But, love is not limited to the brethren.

Brethren have a love that those of the world can not experience.
We have the Spirit.
We are one in the Spirit.

But, we are to “love” strangers.
We are to “not neglect to show hospitality to strangers.”
We never know who they are.
Who they are does not matter.
The point being that all are important, whether they be the outcast of man or angels of God.

By the way, angels are real.
They are in our lives.
We may be interacting unaware with angels.

Then, we are to remember prisoners, as though in prison with them.
Remember the ill-treated, since we are in the body.
The picture is to remember fellow Believers who are imprisoned falsely for the faith.

True, we are to remember/help those who are imprisoned for cause.

But, we are especially help those of the Body

Love of OneAnother.
Hospitality to strangers.
Remembering the imprisoned.

True faith has deeds.

Let us live by faith.
Let us live out deeds.
