Hebrews 13:2---Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Things
are not always what they seem. People are not always who or what they appear to
be. Look at this verse from a common-sense perspective. If God was going to
send an angel into the world to do a special work…would God use an angel with
wings and feathers or would God send an angel in the form of an ordinary
person? To keep down undue attention, God would use the form of an ordinary
person as an angelic disguise. From this verse, people you pass on the street,
the person you stand in line with at the store, maybe even the stranger you sit
next to in church, could be an angel. However, this verse is not about angels
but about how we treat strangers. For many reasons, people we do not personally
know need our care, concern, love, and attention. Strangers and others need to
be enriched by us.
