Finding Kindness and Hospitality

Matthew 10 40  Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me. And anyone who welcomes me also welcomes the one who sent me. 41 Anyone who welcomes a prophet, just because that person is a prophet, will be given the same reward as a prophet. Anyone who welcomes a good person, just because that person is good, will be given the same reward as a good person. 42 And anyone who gives one of my most humble followers a cup of cool water, just because that person is my follower, will be rewarded.

Read Matthew 10:40-42 with your family.

Over the last few weeks we have followed Jesus telling his people and those who were about to be sent out that they would face challenges and hardships. In today’s story Jesus reassures them that good things will happen too. They will find people to help them. They will find homes that want to give them food and a place to sleep. They will find people wanting to know about God’s love.

And Jesus promises that anyone who shows hospitality to anyone will also be recognized by God.
