Questions to Think About
- Abraham's hospitality toward strangers turned out to be hosting God Himself. How does that shape the way you think about how you treat people you don't yet know well?
- Abraham's intercession for Sodom shows deep concern for people outside his own family, even a wicked city. Who is someone or some group you find yourself interceding for, even when it's not your own concern directly?
