works of mercy: harbor the harborless by ric gustafson
Jesus wants us to show hospitality to everyone that we meet. Caring for guests was prevalent in the Old Testament and the book of Ruth centers on taking in and caring for strangers. The word hospital derives from the concept of hospitality to others. Other than bringing strangers in, we can help at homeless shelters, runaway shelters and battered women shelters. We can personally be involved or give them our financial support. Jesus wants us to harbor the harborless and help others in need.
