Everyone you know will one day be a creature so lovely that if you saw it now you\u2019d be tempted to worship it or a creature so distorted and evil-looking that if you have ever seen such a thing it would only be in your nightmares. All of us are headed to one of those two ends. We have never met a mere mortal.<\/p><p>Well, if that\u2019s true, then engaging people as those made in the image of God who are eternal becomes significant in showing hospitality.\u00a0<\/p><p>Engaging people begins in asking open-ended questions, letting your inner curiosity out. \u201cWhat do you do?\u201d \u201cI\u2019m a controller.\u201d \u201cOkay, what\u2019s a controller? What does the week of a controller look like? What do you do on Monday? Do you control stuff? How does this work? Okay, is Tuesday any different? Do you have a day that\u2019s very different?\u201d<\/p><p>We may think this is all obvious \u2014 but often we hold back from doing it. We need to get to know people, take an interest in them, and listen to them, rather than just trying to think about how we can say something memorable or hilarious.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b041c47 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b041c47\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2b33761\" data-id=\"2b33761\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72d203d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"72d203d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Third, make dinner a priority<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6513e43 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6513e43\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-95671c5\" data-id=\"95671c5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee331e3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ee331e3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Bible over and over again talks about the holiness of eating together.

God extends radical hospitality to me and to you. That\u2019s why we learn to love, and pursue, the outsider \u2014 because we were the outsider.<\/p><p>In these four quick ways, we can extend the hospitality that God has extended to us. I am passionate about you understanding that and grabbing hold of that, because I think your joy is tied to that. There\u2019s a joy that\u2019s far greater than most things, and that\u2019s seeing someone sit around our table, ask questions about Jesus, have that conversation, and then pray for that person as they\u2019re there, and then after they leave, as we\u2019re going to bed, praying that God would open their heart, open their mind.<\/p><p>Then by his mercy, if they become a Christian, think about the joy that floods into our hearts and minds that way surpasses intellectual knowledge.
