concludes his series on evangelism by encouraging us to look for opportunities to be more hospitable

in our lives. Here's this week's Wednesday's word. Quote, in my father's house are many rooms.

If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and

prepare a place for you, I will come

again and will take you to myself, that where I am, you may be also, and you know the way to

where I'm going." John 14, 2 through 4. It's the most amazing spiritual reality. At the end

of the grand redemptive narrative, God will open his home to us. Of all the

word pictures he could have chosen, Jesus illustrates our eternal relationship with him in the context

of a home. Why? Because deep in the soul of every human being is a desire to be loved,

accepted, invited, and welcomed. So as we conclude this series about shining as a gospel light in our neighborhood,

here's the final encouragement.

Hospitality is a powerful instrument for evangelism, so put new feet under your table.
