These deceive not by disguising themselves as sheep, but by impersonating true shepherds. They promote the wide gate and the wide way; sheep’s clothing. This may refer to the woolen attire that was the characteristic garb of a shepherd.” MATTHEW “10:41 in the name of a prophet…in the name of a righteous man. This expands on the principal of v.40. To welcome Christ’s emissaries is tantamount to welcoming Him (cf. 25:40).” (Matthew Henrys Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1706) MATTHEW 7: “15-20 Nothing so much prevents men from entering the strait gate, and becoming true followers of Christ, as the carnal, soothing, flattering doctrines of those who oppose the truth. They may be known by the drift and effects of their doctrines. Some part of their temper and conduct is contrary to the mind of Christ. Those opinions come not from God that lead to sin.” (JFB, Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871) MATTHEW 10: “41. He that receiveth a prophet—one divinely commissioned to deliver a message from heaven. Predicting future events was no necessary part of a prophets office, especially as the word is used in the New Testament. in the name of a prophet—for his offices sake and love to his master. (See 2Ki 4:9 and see on 2Ki 4:10). shall receive a prophets reward—What an encouragement to those who are not prophets! (See Joh 3:5-8). and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man—from sympathy with his character and esteem for himself as such shall receive a righteous mans reward—for he must himself have the seed of righteousness who has any real sympathy with it and complacency in him who possesses it.” If you would like to start developing a relationship with Jesus Christ click the Manzanita Baptist Church’s Web Page link bellow. manzanitabaptist.org/ John 3:16 Num. 6:24-26
