In chapter 10, Yahushua sends out His twelve disciples, warning them they will be like sheep among wolves. He tells them to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. That speaks deeply to my own journey. Living by faith while being homeless, I’ve seen what it means to walk among wolves. Some people put on the image of kindness but their fruit shows otherwise, and I’ve learned to be slow to speak and let the Holy Spirit guide my words. I’ll be honest—there have been times I wasn’t wise in how I responded, but Yahushua’s words remind me to be careful and gentle, even when it’s not easy. Persecution comes in many forms—rumors, rejection, spiritual attacks—but Father says, “Vengeance is Mine.” So I trust Him to fight the battles I cannot. Yahushua also reminds us that the servant is not above the master; if He was persecuted, we should expect the same as His followers. These words challenge me to stay faithful, to carry my cross daily, and to value eternal life above the approval of this world.
Chapter 11 shifts focus to John the Baptist, who was sent to prepare the way for Yahushua. Even as Yahushua performed miracles, many still refused to believe. That rejection feels familiar, because I see the same spiritual blindness in people around me today. Yet, Yahushua ends this chapter with a beautiful invitation: “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest… for My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Those words carry me when I feel tired or overlooked. This journey is not always simple, but it teaches me to walk by faith, not sight, and to lean on Him for strength. Every trial, every test, is shaping my faith to endure until the end.
