Bible in a Year:
If your enemy is hungry, feed him.
After Jim Elliot and four other missionaries were killed by Huaorani tribesmen in 1956, no one expected what happened next. Jims wife, Elisabeth, their young daughter, and another missionarys sister willingly chose to make their home among the very people who killed their loved ones. They spent several years living in the Huaorani community, learning their language, and translating the Bible for them. These womens testimony of forgiveness and kindness convinced the Huaorani of Gods love for them and many received Jesus as their Savior.
What Elisabeth and her friend did is an incredible example of not repaying evil with evil but with good (Romans 12:17). The apostle Paul encouraged the church in Rome to show through their actions the transformation that God had brought into their own lives. What did Paul have in mind? They were to go beyond the natural desire to take revenge; instead, they were to show love to their enemies by meeting their needs, such as providing food or water.
Why do this? Paul quotes a proverb from the Old Testament: If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink (v. 20; Proverbs 25:2122). The apostle was revealing that the kindness shown by believers to their enemies could win them over and light the fire of repentance in their hearts.
How did Jesus live out the command to love ones enemies? What will you do today to show Gods love to those who have harmed you?
Abba, Father, its difficult, even impossible, for us to love others in our own strength. Help us through Your Spirit to truly love our enemies, and use us to bring them to You.
