When I pastored in Michigan, I had a member of my church that raised sheep. I used “sheep” as an illustration in a sermon one Sunday and, afterward, he asked me to come out to his farm so I could actually observe sheep. I found that his sheep, like everyone else’s, were pretty typical. They usually didn’t know where to go or what to do if he didn’t direct them and watch over them. It was a very unique education that day for me. It is no mistake that the Lord refers to His children as “sheep”. In today’s passage, the Lord tells the disciples that He is sending them out as “sheep among the wolves”. What exactly did He mean? Today’s message answers that question.
