This article explains that hospitality provides to a broken world an open window of God’s hospitality toward us. Very often people hear the gospel by seeing it in action in Christians, particularly in their homes. In the early church the home was a crucial place for the spread of the faith, and it remains an important setting for building relationships. The church in the Western world needs to rediscover the value of hospitality for the visualizing of the call of the gospel. The article provides some helpful hints for hosting neighbours. It concludes by showing just how Christian hospitality provides an invitation for the world to share in fellowship with the Triune God.
