Genesis 19:7 ...No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
This is a strange set of verses. We will deal with that tomorrow. For today, let's look at the importance of taking care of your guest. Lot was willing to do anything to take care of his guests that came under his roof. He could have been killed while discussing the evil demands of the townsmen. Lot was willing to put his life in jeopardy to protect someone he did not know.
K and A, when you have a guest in your home. Put out your best. Give them anything you have in your home. Do not do this to impress them but to be hospitable. Growing up, I remember a lot of visitors around the table at Sunday dinner. Often, your grandmother would get the nicest dishes, or special cups, or linen ware. She would ask if they needed anything and would give them anything we had in our home. I also remember getting little or maybe nothing if there was not enough food or especially dessert to go around. This is how you treat a guests, you sacrifice what you have to give them what they need. Remember, that is what God did for you. He sacrificed his son so you could have it all.
