On Offerings

Num 15:3-15         11/18/2017

Instruction: The animal sacrificial offerings should be made with the stuff of bread and wine. A meal.

Shared experience. Abram offered the three strangers a meal. He prepared it in their presence. He begged them to stay in hospitality.

Jesus had no home. He took no thought for eating or drinking – trusting that all that was needful would always be available.

He lacked for no good thing. He shared the food of those who offered – those who showed him hospitality. The offerings of his hosts and hostesses were unwitting sacrifices made to the God of all creation.

He said, ‘Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.’

So – I can’t say that I don’t know what to do.

“Do not neglect hospitality, for through it some have unknowingly entertained angels” Heb 13 :2
