Today’s Thought “Hide and Seek” G. Ward

“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves.” Matthew 10:16

 

Our Lord began with 12; warning them of the inevitable danger in discipleship. This imminent danger never proposed hurried, vehement opposition from His disciples, but implicit trust of love and care from the Savior that would grow His church. Jesus didn’t rush through His discourse in general terms, but dispelled small particulars as the gospel is portrayed as a sword. This wasn’t an attempt in contrived division, but an expected one from some who would/will deny love and guidance from our Wonderful Savior.

Our Lord’s first communication with 12 is with same pertinence for today, and there are some that fail to understand His loving them also (cf. Hos.4:6) . Will you tell them of His goodness, or continue with promulgations of religious irrelevancy?

Happy Thursday!
