There is a familiar passage of scripture, Matthew 10:16, that is greatly misunderstood. Jesus is sending the apostles out on their first evangelistic mission and he tells them, “I am sending you out as sheep among wolves.” A major part of the misunderstanding comes from the fact that these were grown men, despite referring to them as lambs. Jesus wasn’t sending out lambs, he was sending out rams (adult male sheep), and rams aren’t weak or passive.
