Have you ever experienced excellent hospitality? Maybe it was at a resort on vacation or at a nice restaurant that you still remember fondly. Maybe you remember some not so great experiences, too, those where you could not wait to get home.

Today we get to hear about a great place to go where the hospitality is perfect. It’s better than any five diamond hotel or a restaurant that has received three MICHELIN Stars. It’s far greater than you could ever dream of or imagine because it comes from God himself. And when you go you get to stay forever. It’s not like a vacation where you eventually come home. It is your home to the point that even your loved ones who have died in the Lord are already there enjoying their time in God’s presence.

Today we celebrate what God has done for them and that one day we will join them. Until then we eagerly anticipate God’s eternal hospitality in heaven.
