Philoxenia: Love The Foreigner
The City of God:
To angels in festal gathering
To the church of the firstborn enrolled in heaven
To God, the judge of all
To the spirits of the righteous made perfect
To Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant
You have come to an unshakeable kingdom
Therefore:
Let brotherly love remain (Philadelphia)
Practice hospitality – (philoxenia)
- It is to “strangers”
- It could include angels
- It is for Jesus
- It is connected to the way we have been welcomed
