Judges 19:10 says, But the man would not tarry that night, but he rose up and departed, and came over against Jebus, which is Jerusalem; and there were with him two asses saddled, his concubine also was with him.  The man would not stay another night, but left with his concubine, servant and two asses and came to Jebus, which was later Jerusalem, but at this time was still under the control of the Jebusites.  Verse eleven adds,  And when they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said unto his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn in into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it.  At the end of the day, the man's servant proposed that they spend the night in Jebus.  The servant was looking for a place of shelter, but it was his master who was in charge.  When we look for a place of shelter in the world today, we need to remember that it is God, our Master if we are followers of Christ, Who is in charge.  Verse twelve declares, And his master said unto him, We will not turn aside hither into the city of a stranger, that is not of the children of Israel; we will pass over to Gibeah.  The man told his servant that they would not stay in the city of strangers but would go on to Gibeah, a city of the Israelites.  Though we are not to live by the same values as those who do not know God, we are still to be in the midst of them to share God's word.  Verse thirteen adds, And he said unto his servant, Come, and let us draw near to one of these places to lodge all night, in Gibeah, or in Ramah.  The man told his servant that they should go on to Gibeah or Ramah to lodge for the night.  Matthew Henry says that he was saying basically that Israelites should not lodge with non Israelites, but as I just stated, today we are not called for a physical separation from the world but a spiritual one.  Verse fourteen declares, And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them when they were by Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin.  They passed by Jebus and went on to Gibeah, which belonged to the tribe of Benjamin.  Verse fifteen adds, And they turned aside thither, to go in and to lodge in Gibeah: and when he went in, he sat him down in a street of the city: for there was no man that took them into his house to lodging.  When they got to Gibeah, they ended up in the street, because no one would take them in.  This was very much against Jewish law.  We need to make sure that we do all that we can today to offer help to the stranger, especially those who are also God's people.  Verse sixteen says, And, behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at even, which was also of mount Ephraim; and he sojourned in Gibeah: but the men of the place were Benjamites.  An old man from the tribe of Ephraim, who also lived in Gibeon, though it was of the tribe of Benjamin, came in from working in the fields.  He himself was but a sojourner in the city, but he was more hospitable than the people of the city.  He was also an old man and may have known the laws of the people of Israel better than some of the younger people did.  As followers of Christ, we are but sojourners in this world, and we should therefore be more hospitable to those that we encounter who are in need than the rest of the world is.  Verse seventeen declares, And when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw a wayfaring man in the street of the city: and the old man said, Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?  When the old man saw the strangers in the street, he asked them who they were and where were they going.  This is a question that we should ask people today if we find them in need of help, and then we should point them to Christ.  This does not mean that we should not help them physically as well though, if we are able to.  Verse eighteen says,  And he said unto him, We are passing from Bethlehemjudah toward the side of mount Ephraim; from thence am I: and I went to Bethlehemjudah, but I am now going to the house of the LORD; and there is no man that receiveth me to house.  The man who was travelling explained his situation to the old man, and added that no one would take them in.  Verse nineteen adds, Yet there is both straw and provender for our asses; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man which is with thy servants: there is no want of any thing.  The man who was travelling told the old man that they had everything they needed but a place to stay.  Verse twenty states,  And the old man said, Peace be with thee; howsoever let all thy wants lie upon me; only lodge not in the street.  The old man told them to allow him to provide for their needs so that they might be at peace.  We should likewise be willing to help those that we encounter who are in need in the world today.  Even if their basic needs are met, they still need to be invited to the heavenly home with God.  Verse twenty-one adds, So he brought him into his house, and gave provender unto the asses: and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink.  The old man brought them into his house and provided for their needs.  We need to pray that the time doesn't come where the old men and women of the church are the only ones who do what God calls on us to do as His people.
