(Matthew 10:16-25)
The first verse Jesus states that he is sending you out as sheep in the mist of wolves, so be WISE s serpents and INNOCENT as doves.
Innocent as doves in Greek AKERAIOS which means unmixed pure, blameless. Of the mind, without admixture of evil, free from guile, innocent, simple.
Jesus compares his disciples as innocent sheep to teach that we are to meek and humble in our spirits, harmless and inoffensive in our lives and conversation.
Doves only land in places where there is peace and stay far high in places when there is to much going on.
Spiritually we should do the same be where there is peace and go high up in prayer when it seems the world is overwhelming to us and the people of God.
