SDG 189 Beware of the False Prophets

Matthew 7:15–23

Matthew 7:15 begins with a dire warning from Jesus, "Beware of false prophets" and that's an important message for all of us today.

So Jesus, Himself warns us that these false prophets are like wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Now wolves are bold and they attack fiercely, in fact wolves and not lions or bears are the most dreaded enemy of the shepherd.

And that's because unlike lions and bears who usually only kill for food, once a wolf gets the taste of blood, they go into a frenzy and kill far more than they can ever possibly eat.

So Jesus says beware; and when Jesus says beware we ought to beware.

But Jesus not only warns that these wolves are dangerous, He also says they are deceptive since they come in sheep’s clothing.

So we’ve all been warned now be sure to tune in to learn more about the fleece they wear, the fruit they bear and the fate they all share!
