What did He mean?
He was sending his followers out to make disciples. He was saying ‘USE YOUR BRAINS, THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND HOW YOU APPROACH PEOPLE. ‘Think like a snake’ don’t act like one. Snakes are smart hunters and know how to cautiously approach what they are after. But their manner of attack creates fear in most people. So think about how you approach people.
SO MANY HAVE IT BACKWARDS. Many Christians are attacking, striking at those they want to make disciples out of for Jesus. What do you do if a ‘snake’ strikes at you? You run or you kill it! So, think like a snake, don’t act like one. Doves are symbols of peace and gentleness. In your manner of approaching people, don’t give them any more reason to fear you than they would a dove. Doves are gentle. I’ve never seen a vicious, attack dove.
In the online Relational Evangelism course you will learn how to be SMART in the way you approach those you would like to share Jesus with and you will learn how to reach out in a respectful, calm manner.
We’ve seen quiet, shy, unsure people unleashed from their fears as they learn an effective way to share the Love of Christ and learn they don’t have to be aggresive, attacking or abrasive in seeking to do so. We’ve had outgoing, aggressive people learn how to ‘tone’ down in their manner and in so doing, become much more effective in sharing Jesus. This course is changing lives. Sign up now. You could be one of the next to be unleashed. |
