2. Hope Sabbath School, I can’t help but thank God for your ministry. I took time this morning to watch the study on the subject of Living for God. Let me assure you that ALL of the comments shared helped me appreciate the lesson even more. Comments help us engage in a “discussion” which can help to simplify the lessons from our study. In kind, I would like to share a comment to contribute to our lively discussion. In 1 Peter 4:9, the Bible tells us (in the KJV) to “use hospitality one to another without grudging.” In the Customer Service industry, it is a good rule of thumb to render service with a smile. In the example of service we might expect from a restaurant, we may decide to stop going to the restaurant if our waitor is rude, or not as friendly as one would expect. In like manner, a first time visitor rubbed the wrong way at one of our churches may think twice about coming back.

   When the Bible lesson from 1 Peter 4:9 tells about hospitality, we are reminded that the Lord has high expectations for the way we deal with the people around us. As we “live for God,” the *grudging* would suggest that we need to be careful about the spirit in which we do whatever the Lord would call us to do. In summary, I would like to appreciate another lesson from verse 10 of 1 Peter 4, which provides a “high five” for verse 9. In verse 10 we are called to be “good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” From 1 Peter 4:9 and 10, we learn about the “Stewardship of Hospitality.” To God be the Glory. In closing, I pray that other students of God’s word may be encouraged to share a comment on this wonderful study.
