TOPIC: Be Hospitable [Open Heaven for Teens 20 January 2024]
MEMORISE: Use hospitality one to another without grudging. 1 Peter 4:9
READ: 1 Peter 4:9-10
9 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
MESSAGE
Hospitality is the duty of every Christian because it encapsulates the central message of Christianity which is love. I can’t say that I truly love you if I don’t give to you, help you, care for you, or show concern about your wellbeing. This was the reason Jesus said that the greatest commandment is to love your neighbour as yourself (Matthew 22:37- 39).
Beloved, you should see every encounter that you have with people as opportunities to show them the love of God. Father Abraham’s hospitality in hosting the three men that passed by his tent sealed God’s promise to give him a child (Genesis 18:1-10). Your miracles will also come when you help others. Therefore, you should assist your classmates when they need help with difficult subjects, share your food with the needy, give money to beggars after you have covered it with the blood of Jesus, offer some water to those who are thirsty, encourage people with your words, and pray for people. All these are acts of hospitality that show that you care about other people, and as you spread the love of Christ, you will be blessed.
KEY POINT:
Give to someone who is in need around you today.
HYMN 19 – There’s Not A Friend Like The Lowly Jesus
1. There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus–
No, not one! no, not one!
None else could heal all our soul’s diseases–
No, not one! no, not one!
CHORUS:
Jesus knows all about our struggles,
He will guide till the day is done;
There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus–
No, not one! no, not one!
2 No friend like Him is so high and holy–
No, not one! no, not one!
And yet no friend is so meek and lowly–
No, not one! no, not one!
3 There’s not an hour that He is not near us –
No, not one! no, not one!
No night so dark but His love can cheer us–
No, not one! no, not one!
4. Did ever saint find this friend forsake him?
No not one! no not one!
Or sinner find that he would not take him?
No not one! no not one!
5. Was e’er a gift like the Savior given?
No, not one! no, not one!
Will He refuse us a home in heaven?
No, not one! no, not one!
