To Be As Wise As
Serpents and Harmless As Doves: Jesus advised his twelve disciples in how to
behave in their ministry as they went throughout the lands spreading the gospel. The world was
then, as it is now, hostile to true believers. Jesus taught that to be Christ-like in this world,
they must combine the wisdom and shrewdness of a serpent with the harmlessness of the dove. Many
may recoil from the prospect of being like a serpent, but Jesus used the simile to explain exactly
what was needed by His disciples to deal with those in this world. We need to utilize this
technique when attempting to bring those lost souls to Jesus Christ and heavenly
Jerusalem.
