Eighth Sunday after Trinity
11 August 2019
Beware of False Prophets
âBeware of false prophets, who come to you in sheepâs clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolvesâ (St. Matthew 7.15). Deceit has its strength in masquerading as the truth. False prophets speak a vision of their own heart, not from the mouth of the Lord (Jeremiah 23.16â29). They deny the judgment of the Lord, speaking peace to the unrepentant, when in truth there is condemnation and wrath. âYou will recognize them by their fruitsâ (St. Matthew 7.20). The âfruitsâ of a true prophet are not outward righteousness or success but faithfulness in proclaiming the Word of the Lord. This is the will of the Father in heaven, that pastors take heed to the flock, the Fatherâs adopted ones (Romans 8.12â17), warning them against the wolves and their lies, and shepherding the Church of God which He purchased with His own blood. For indeed, the cross is that good tree bearing good fruitânamely, the body and blood of Christ, given and shed for you for the forgiveness of sins.
