Making Room for God's Welcome

Rev. Jenny Smith Walz

First, God welcomes us, inviting us to be enfolded in God’s welcome, in the abundance of life and mercy, joy and peace. As we prepare to welcome Christ once again, may we make room for God’s welcome. We are both host and guest. Any welcome we in turn offer is rooted in God’s welcome of us and in God’s covenant law, which reminds us that we ought to show this Godly radical hospitality because we, too, were once strangers in Egypt, in need of welcome.
