"Keep on loving each other as brothers. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it." Hebrews 13:1-2 (NIV)
The unknown author of the Bible Book of Hebrews stated that men ought to treat each other with loving kindness. The author also stated that men ought to also treat strangers with loving kindness. One never knows who a stranger is, some men have met and entertained angels, and they did not know that they had an encounter with an angel.
Blessings can come to us in many different ways. It has been said that every one who crosses our path in life has either a blessing or a lesson for us. (Unknown) Angels can speak to us and deliver a message, (Luke 1:13, Luke 1:30, Luke 2:10, and Acts 12:8), they can lead us and guide us, (Exodus 23:20), or the can be near us for our protection without our being aware of them. (2 Kings 6:17) It is also possible for angels to appear to us in the form of a human stranger. (Hebrews 13:2) So, we should be very careful how we treat strangers that we encounter, they may be angels sent from heaven with a message or a blessing for us. Since we do not know who the angels are, we should treat every one with loving kindness That is just the Christ-like thing to do. We should love our brothers, our neighbors, our enemies, and even strangers that meet. ( Matthew 22:39, Luke 6:27, John 15:12, and Hebrews 13:2)
