S ~ 'It was by faith that Rahab the prostitute was not destroyed with the people in her city who refused to obey God. For she had given a friendly welcome to the spies.' Hebrews 11:31
O ~ A friendly welcome... from the prostitute.
A ~ I love how funny the New Living Translation is. New King James says "when she had received the spies with peace." A friendly welcome is just so funny. And in the midst of a little 'bible hue more', it's truly amazing that this woman is included in the genealogy of King David... and of King Jesus. When Jesus was born of Mary, He not only identified with the virgin who shall conceive, but with her great great great (etc) grandma, the friendly one.
P ~ Lord Jesus, thank You that you drew near to all of us - Emmanuel. You opened the door wide, and invited us all into the Kingdom. Rahab - the beautiful story of redemption.
