A Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing Jude 1:3-4

 We use to have a wolf hybrid. Her name was Grizzly because when we first got her at 10 weeks old she had a stubby tail and round little ears. I was holding her in my arms on her back tickling her belly and said “You look just like a little Grizzly Bear.” That was it, we had a name for her. She was stubborn, gentle and very smart. 

Where did the phrase “Wolf in sheep’s clothing” come from? It originates from Jesus’s own words in Matthew 7:15 “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”

Judes letter is a warning to the first century Christians about false teachers slipping in among the Church and perverting the teaching of the Gospel, trying to twist it into something it was not meant to be. Judes warning is still relevant today. I found this site godwords.org helpful in researching false teachers.

Jude 1:3-4 Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people. 4For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about  long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.
