Chapter 1

The Wisdom of Serpents

It is not strange that men fear snakes. It is also not strange if people have a proper respect for snakes. It is a fact that snakes are amazing creatures, superbly surviving and multiplying in spite of the generalized hatred that exists towards them.

If Jesus had not spoken about the wisdom of serpents we may have overlooked the superior wisdom that they live by. Because Jesus pointed out the wisdom of a serpent, all of us must pay special attention to these creatures and learn what we can from them. So, what is the wisdom of a serpent? What makes a serpent wise?

Would you not want to find the wisdom that would make you flourish more than all your colleagues?Would you not want to find the wisdom that could make you successful in the face of strong opposition and hatred?
