Dogs, Hogs and Evangelism
Manage episode 467411562 series 3565033
There are some people you can't teach. Even Jesus was not successful every time He taught people. This is a hard lesson to learn when you love others and try to help them to be saved. After all, Jesus said to go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation in Mark 16:15–16. But it is a fact that some people are so hardened against God and against his Word that they will only berate you if you try to teach them. Jesus used strong and very straightforward language to talk about people like this. He compared them to two repulsive animals in Jewish culture: dogs and hogs. In this lesson from the Sermon on the Mount, we will hear Jesus teaching us how to avoid unnecessary and unproductive arguments with people. This one verse will help us to be wiser and more patient as we spread the gospel.
