Sheep among Wolves

Jesus sent his disciples into the world as sheep among wolves. But the greatest danger is not what wolves can do to sheep.

Following Jesus means learning to resist the wolf without becoming one.Spiritual Practice: Seeing a NeighborThis week, when someone stirs frustration, resentment, fear, or contempt in you, pause for a moment and ask:Can I see this person as someone loved by God?Don't argue with the question.
