1 Kings 22:10-28 & Matthew 7:15-20 (ESV) - People are pretty good at recognizing the signs of danger. If you see a blue, fuzzy spot on an apple, you know that the apple has gone rotten and it’s not safe to eat. If you live in a place where rattlesnakes are known to live, you’ll take care when you hear a rattling sound outside. We know that some things are dangerous and need to be avoided carefully. But as much attention as we pay to the signs of physical danger, Jesus says that His church needs to pay just as much attention to signs of spiritual danger. Specifically, this passage warns us of false prophets, who appear harmless but are dangerously destructive to the people of God. Our true prophet will tell us about false prophets and their fruit, and the people of God must give their attention to the word of God’s final prophet.
