Where's the wolf?



Luke 22:21-23
21 “But here at this table, sitting among us as a friend, is the man who will betray me. 22 For it has been determined that the Son of Man must die. But what sorrow awaits the one who betrays him.” 23 The disciples began to ask each other which of them would ever do such a thing.

If find it interesting that among the twelve disciples was a wolf in sheep’s clothing.  We’ve all heard the story of Judas. But at this point in the story Judas has already agreed to betray Jesus and the other eleven disciples didn’t have a clue who the betrayer was going to be. It makes me sad to think the same thing is true today. That there are more wolves in sheep’s clothing among us even in churches.

Another important point to realize is that Jesus knew who must die but He did not make Judas betray Him but he used the evil Judas committed for His purpose. As evil as evil is it is comforting to know that still to this day Jesus still will use evil to accomplish His will. Even the wolves in sheep’s clothing.
