Expanding the Space of Welcome

Our vision of welcome and hospitality often includes enclosed spaces. Home, hotels, weddings, and family picnics. These are all good and wonderful places and spaces of celebration, rest, and joy. Yet the pictures we hold are limited, simply because of what has been modeled before us. Can you imagine hospitality without food? Or welcome without celebration?

Today's Scripture reading invites us to see how Jesus expanded the welcome and hospitality to a stranger. A woman with a complex history unexpectedly met Jesus, and in their meeting, he expanded his welcome to her through conversation and questions.

Through Jesus's interaction with this woman, he was able to listen more deeply to her needs, revealing more of who he truly was, and this exchange led to her community seeing Jesus as he truly was. As Jesus expanded and deepened welcome to the woman, hospitality stretched to those around her.

Does your pace of life and ministry allow you to see and make space for others and hear their deepest longings?

How can you create margin in your day to expand your welcome to others?

Most of us have experienced hospitality and welcome in homes and hotels. Yet hospitality goes beyond the walls of where we are and moves towards others. Hospitality is the work of welcome and is a posture we carry with us wherever we go. This reading plan walks through the times in the life of Jesus where he was vulnerable and rejected, when he received hospitality and repaired through it, and how he expands the space of welcome.
