In this article, we’ll take a look at a particular phrase that has been taken out of Matthew 7:15: “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.” From this verse is derived the familiar phrase, “wolf in sheep’s clothing.” What does it mean, and what was Jesus saying? As with all of Christ’s words, there is much that we can glean and apply to our lives from this verse, and from the phrase we will cover.
