CHRISTIAN HOSPITALITY Day in and day out, we are required to make judgment calls informed by tough, durable, ser- viceable Christian love. We do what we can do, and God takes notice. God is in charge of re- wards, and a glass of water will do when that is what we have to offer with a glad and open heart. Paul gives us a clear theology for the mission- ary work we do whenever anybody is close at hand. He reminds us that our work, our minis- try, is carried on in concert with Christ. We have been baptized into his death and life. In any given moment both life and death are there, a kind of play of shadow and light. Sometimes it’s difficult to tell where shadow leaves off and light begins. God will take care of that, too.
