Focus Scripture  –  Matthew 10:40-42

 

 “Whoever welcomes you welcomes me,

and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.

Whoever welcomes a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward;

and whoever welcomes a righteous person in the name of a righteous person

will receive the reward of the righteous;

and whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple – truly I tell you, none of these will lose their reward.”
