The Three Men

Who were the three men that Abraham invited to stay for dinner in Genesis 18: 2?

They asked, “Where is your wife, Sarah?”

Who told Abraham that Sarah would have a son next year?

In Verse 22 “The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the Lord.”

Genesis 19: 1 “…Two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening,”

What are you thinking?

One of the three men standing near by in 18: 2 was “..the Lord” Was He God Himself? Moses was not allowed to see God’s face.  Jacob in Genesis 32 wrestled with and saw the face of God. Or was this an Old Testament appearance of Jesus Himself or a Christophany.?

Hebrews 13: 2 tells us “Do not forget to entertain strangers for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it

Abraham probably couldn’t ignore these three strangers in his town of tents, but he rolled out the red carpet for them. Soon, The Lord took him into his confidence, and his nephew was saved.

What is my responsibility to many more strangers arriving in our community every day? What must our church do right now?
