Devotional: Matthew 10:16-25

Today’s passage: Matthew 10:16-25

Helpful thoughts:

  • Jesus sends out His sheep into the wolves’ territory.
  • Jesus does not call His children to be willfully ignorant of the nature of man.
  • When a disciple would endure persecution, Jesus promises that the Spirit would minister through them.  They won’t be left alone.
  • The Pharisees accused Jesus of casting out demons by the prince of demons in 9:34.

Questions to consider:

  1. Does God ever send His children into places that are not physically safe? (See verse 16)  Does He expect His children to be careless in the danger? (See verses 16-17)
  2. Who is doing the persecuting of these disciples specifically, the Gentiles or Israel?  Should we be surprised when our main opponents seem to be coming from within? (See Acts 20:29-30)
  3. What is the problem with the fear of people’s rejection keeping us from sharing the Gospel?  What does this passage promise will be true?  Is it an appropriate goal for a Christian to be completely un-hated?
