Stewards of Grace
1 Peter 4: 8-10 says this:
8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.9 Show hospitality to one another without grumbling.10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace
The greek word for steward is this oikonomos
oy-kon-om’-os; a house distributor (that is, manager), or overseer, that is, an employee in that capacity; by extension a fiscal agent (treasurer); figuratively a preacher (of the Gospel): – chamberlain, governor, steward.
This clip from the 1998 movie Les Miserables demonstrates this idea amazingly
Three significant things at work here:
Radical Hospitality
Radical Love
Radical Grace
May we all be good stewards of the grace God has given to us and practice radical hospitality, love, and grace to those we meet.
