Matthew 10 Continued...
Persecution
Will Come
“Behold,
I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as
serpents and innocent as doves.”
In
other words, you will be “easy pickin's” for the worst of men,
therefore be wise, vigilant and maintain your innocence. I understand
the whole turning the other cheek thing (Matthew 5:39) will be
mistaken as weakness by some, some will infiltrate your number for
the purpose of cheating you (Acts 5:1-10), while others will lose
faith in me and ultimately turn on you(2 Timothy 4:10). You will be
treated how I was treated. If they spat in my face, they will spit in
yours. But do not fear, for I will be with you, to the point of
speaking on your behalf.
This
promise endures still. Christ stands with us when no one else dares.
