What Does The Bible Say About Feeding The Hungry? (December 2024)

... What does the Bible teach us about feeding those who are hungry, as an extension of God's justice?
When Jesus walked the earth, he experienced hunger and thirst. God, dwelling among us, felt the push and pull of human need as we do. He also had a God's-eye view on the experience of those around him and acted with compassion to meet need -- spiritual and physical need -- wherever he went.

It has always been his intent that all people experience fullness of life, and that includes bodily nourishment. As a heavenly Father who gives good gifts to his children (Matthew 7:10-11), God does not overlook our physical needs.
