Christianity is born out of hospitality, which means ‘friendliness to guests’.* And everyone living on God’s earth is a guest. As Christ’s disciples, we are invited by Jesus to offer the gift of friendliness.
Not all of us feel comfortable in a social setting. It’s one reason God creates His family, often expressed through church congregations. Yet, the Church’s primary purpose is to reflect the present reality of Jesus. Too often it becomes introverted and consumed with its own existence. The Church does not exist to facilitate church.
