Hebrews 13:2
_ _ Two manifestations of “brotherly love,” hospitality and care for those in bonds.
_ _ Be not forgetful — implying it was a duty which they all recognized, but which they might forget to act on (Hebrews 13:3, Hebrews 13:7, Hebrews 13:16). The enemies of Christianity themselves have noticed the practice of this virtue among Christians [Julian, Epistles, 49].
_ _ entertained angels unawares — Abraham and Lot did so (Genesis 18:2; Genesis 19:1). To obviate the natural distrust felt of strangers, Paul says, an unknown guest may be better than he looks: he may be unexpectedly found to be as much a messenger of God for good, as the angels (whose name means messenger) are; nay more, if a Christian, he represents Christ Himself. There is a play on the same Greek word, Be not forgetful and unaware; let not the duty of hospitality to strangers escape you; for, by entertaining strangers, it has escaped the entertainers that they were entertaining angels. Not unconscious and forgetful of the duty, they have unconsciously brought on themselves the blessing. |
Hebrews 13:2
Some — Abraham and Lot. Have entertained angels unawares — So may an unknown guest, even now, be of more worth than he appears, and may have angels attending him, though unseen. Genesis 18:2; Genesis 19:1. |
