Life Is Very Difficult for Born Again Christian Witnesses in the Midst of Hungry Wolves and Stubborn Sheep

By -
This is expected that the man of God should suffer rejection from stubborn sheep.
The illustration above of the wolf, the sheep and the preacher is really very true until today.  Whenever I read through Jeremiah, I really tell myself that there's nothing new anymore and if I'm getting unjustly kicked out for preaching God's Word than when I deserve it like because I wasn't acting accordingly to God's rules, then it's expected to happen.

The picture used shows three symbols that may be seen this way:
  • The man warning the sheep is any born again Christian witnessing to the lost.  It can be the pastor of God or anybody who is a concerned Christian.
  • The sheep are members of false religion who don't realize they're lost or love being lost.
  • The wolf can either be the false religion, the minister of false religion or Satan himself waiting to devour the flock of stubborn sheep.

Many people today are too comfortable with their false religion without being aware their religion, their head minister like the Pope or Satan himself is waiting to devour them.  A good example is you have the Roman Catholic priest as the ravenous wolf in sheep's clothing while the Roman Catholic people are the sheep.  They're given the warning that their religion will not save them, that they're on their way to Hell but instead of being grateful you can see many Roman Catholics have the attitude the sheep who kicked the man off for warning them about sin and judgment.  What they don't realize is that their priests they think are their good shepherds are just waiting to devour them and that born again Christian witness who they call the wolf was concerned about their welfare.  The same goes for every religion that teaches another gospel which is not another.  

It's a real problem when people are told about sin and judgment but they'll have that mentality, "Who are you do to judge?  Didn't the Bible say judge not and you'll not be judged?"  After they've been warned and many of them continue to kick out the man warning them about the wolf until it's too late because the wolf had already devoured them.  Besides, the Christian mission has always been about warning the wicked and that if they warned them, the blood is no longer on their hands.  Sadly many people will be reminded, "We tried to warn you!  But you said, Don't judge me."
