That is why you who are in need are not invited to spend the night in the homes of the rich. There are guest rooms today in the homes of the rich but they are not for those who need them. And they are not for those who need them because those who need them are no longer considered as the ambassadors of God.
So people no longer consider hospitality to the poor as a personal duty. And it does not disturb them a bit to send them to the city, where they are given the hospitality of the ‘Muni’ at the expense of the tax payer.
But the hospitality that the ‘Muni’ given to the down and out is no hospitality because what comes from the tax payer’s pocket book does not come from the heart.
