They were to take no i visions with them of any kind, but were to accept the hospitality and provision of those to whom they went, for the workman is worth his keep. Then in verse 16 of the tenth Chapter of Matthew, Jesus said: hold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves; therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves". They would appear helpless, and an easy prey to their enemies -- to those with a vested interest in the Jewish religion. But they would at least be I aware of this, since to be fore-. warned is to be forearmed. They were to be as wise as serpents, J yet as harmless as doves. They , were to be as shrewd and as I discerning and as watchful as i the serpent or Satan himself, yet with none of Satan's in-' tent! I In otherwords, tKey were not I sent out starry-eyed! They were not blissfully unaware of the facts of life! They were neither ignorant nor unmindful of the forces of evil arrayed against them. They did not sally forth innocently believeing that everyone would welcome their message and that none would oppose their mission. They were hfve JHis^weapons; not 'innicents abroad'. They were men forewarned of darkness and evil and opposition, yet who were given power over these. "Be wise", said JesUs! Be able to recognize evil under whatever form it may ap- Kingdom will return to you if you are met by evil masquerading as goodness. And if this happens, then depart and go elsewhere. You will not be deceived; but neither will you retaliate in like manner, for you are not to be injurious to any- Now this is a directive of the Lord to Christians of all generations. We are to be 'artless' -- in the sense that our sincerity as Christians should never be open to question! But we are not to be childish, or naive, or gullible! To go forth in simple faith does not mean that we should be ignorant of guile, treachery and crafty disguise! We must always be on the lookout for Satan's guile and intrigues; aware of what is going round about us, without ever resorting to using the same weapons ourselves. We are | to be 'harmless'; that it, candid, straight forward, upright and open hearted. If we are wise to evil, we will not be taken in by We are to be childlike in our faith, not childish! Not stupid or witless! We need all our wits about us if we are to stand over against the powers of darkness. Yet we are not defenceless! We have Christ the Chief Shepherd as our General; we already Victor! But we must keep our eyes open, for we are His watchmen; His secret service agents; His commandos; His infantry. Let us then see to it that we are wise as serpents -- aware Evening Guild Trinity Anglican Church The Evening Guild of Trinity Anglican Church held another successful euchre in the Parish Hall on Friday evening, February 5th; with nine lables playing.
