Rescue Your Enemy – Proverbs 24:17-18

Rescue Your Enemy
Proverbs 24:17-18 (NIV)

17 Do not gloat when your enemy falls;
when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,

18 or the Lord will see and disapprove
and turn his wrath away from them.

Proverbs Club Commentary

Do not celebrate the failures of your enemy
because the Lord will turn and remove his punishment.
This rings false to the Christian
because it is for a society under the law,
not under grace.

Do not celebrate the failures of your enemy.
Pray for your enemy.
Bless your enemy.
Love your enemy.
Do good to your enemy.
Give funds to your enemy.

Jesus did and told us to do so, also.
