Philoxenia - John Mark Davidson

Skillman Church of Christ

The word in the New Testament for Hospitality is philoxenia. It is a compound word that combines the word for love (phileo) and the word for stranger or foreigner (xenos). Jesus lives a life of hospitality, but also a life of loving the stranger and the "other." May we as a church follow the example of Jesus and love those who are different than we are.
