Why Did Jesus Use the Examples of the Thief and Wolf?
Duane Bemis
INTRODUCTION
When I was preaching John Chapter Ten my spirit man wanted to know about the thief and the wolf. Why would Jesus use these two examples? Why not use the lioness, or the leopard, or even an alligator? Why not the elephant? Why did Jesus use the example of the wolf and the thief? Thus began my quest to research both the wolf and the thief.
The first thing which traveled the hallways of my mind is the fact, Jesus can only speak truth, because He is truth! So let us look at His examples and let us join in prayer to discover why Jesus used this canine illustration.
Let us pray, or let us converse with the Lord, ''Father, come and give us understanding on why Jesus used the thief and the wolf as His illustrations. Lord, bring to our mind the knowledge about Your illustrations. Then let us understand how to take this knowledge and convert it into Godly wisdom. Come and teach us your Biblical truths. We understand there must be a significant reason Jesus used both of these examples. The thief and the wolf illustration can help us understand how the adversary attaches his victim. Thank You in advance for the Spiritual Truths we are going to discover. In the name of Jesus amen and amen.''
Why did Jesus used the thief and why did he use the wolf as His comparison; in John Chapter Ten. Why did Jesus select these examples? This question resonated in my Spirit. Thus began my quest, and to hunger to learn more about these two enemy's and how they attack each believer.
In College I had a minor in Science. In my studies; Biology, Microbiology, Invertebrate Zoology, Zoology-Vertebrate, Botany, and I carried very good grades in these classes. In one such class we had to read a book called, ''Call of the Wild.'' By Jack London. Later they made a movie of the same title. The scientist lived near a wolf pack in the middle of the wilderness.
