Jesus presents the enemies of his kingdom from three perspectives: (1) with respect to their religious office or function, they are false prophets; (2) with respect to their inner nature, they are ravenous wolves; and (3) with respect to their outward appearance, they wear sheep’s clothing.

There’s a lot to ponder in this passage. And it touches on many present concerns in the church: abuse and safeguarding; truth and falsehood; identity and character. As such, I want to understand it better. And I’d love it if you joined me in my exploration over the next few weeks.
