Jesus told his disciples to be as shrewd as snakes and innocent as doves. Living in God’s freedom triggers some, even to death and violence. Jesus said you may not escape earthly accusation, but do not worry. You will be given the words to say and actions to take.
Matthew 10:16-20 (NIV) 16 “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. 17 Be on your guard; you will be handed over to the local councils and be flogged in the synagogues. 18 On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.19 But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, 20 for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
