Wolves In The Sheepfold
-tfMatthew 10:16 "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves."

1st Peter 5:1-7 "Feed the flock of God which is among you."

(Also Mark 1:22, 11:18, & Luke 4:32)
QUESTION: Why should the people be astonished at the Lord's doctrine?
ANSWER: (They had never heard anything preached like he preached! They had been listening to the scribes.)

But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." (Spiritual babes, through lack of "USE," fail to discern the evil of their "religion's" doctrine.)
