Proverbs 25:
The Good Samaritan.
This verse is quite powerful (verse 22). What comes to mind for me is the Good Samaritan. He was the only one who responded with compassion, to his sworn "enemy". Israelites HATED the Samaritans. And the Samaritans KNEW this, and therefore didn't like the Israelites much either.
So here we have a Samaritan, minding his own business, and he sees an "enemy", near dead, just laying there, beaten badly and most likely unconscious. Two others, who were akin to this nearly dead man, passed on by him, leaving him there to DIE.
Yet, when this Samaritan saw this man, he went TO him, and his heart was full of compassion.
He, in essence, saved his life, amongst other things.
This Samaritan did exactly what WE are admonished to do in verse 22.
Would we do the same thing He did, for OUR sworn enemy?
"If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:" ~Pr 25:21
