Daily Bible Thought > Matt.7:6 Give What Is Holy To Dogs?

Matt.7:6 "Don't give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

It is Jesus here saying that dogs and pigs are evil? No! He is not, he is stating a truth about the nature of animals. Both the dog and the pig are very fleshly, they will eat just about anything put before them by their masters. They cannot differentiate between a Perl and the rock or for that matter a nugget of gold.

What is holy? It is the spiritual mind of Christ, but why? Jesus Christ had just spoken above in the sermon on mount about not judging then he concludes this that with Dogs and pigs? Those having the mind of Christ understand how to stop judging. They know that in the flesh just as a dog or pig cannot change its nature, neither can the fleshly mind not judge.

The fleshly mind is a mind of judgment it judges by the laws of the flesh. However, the mind of Christ Jesus is nonjudgmental, that is, those in Christ have no judgment, and/or condemnation. They are freed from judgment of what? They are freed of the judgment of their sinful flesh, why? It is because their flesh is dead in Christ Jesus.

It must be dead in Christ Jesus, why? So that it no longer is judged by the law of God, the Commandments of God, the laws were for judging sin. But the flesh cannot be judged because it is dead, hence, it does not exist in the spiritual body of Christ Jesus. Subsequently, if those in Christ put spiritual mind of Christ before the fleshly mind that to our opponents, one will kill the other. which is their nature, there is no point in trying to make a pig into an angel, there is no point in trying to make a dog holy.

Romans 8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

Romans 8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn't have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

The pig or the dog can be holy because they are dead in their flesh in Jesus Christ. hence, they don't exist in Christ or his spiritual. To be alive in Christ one must have a spiritual holy mind that of Jesus Christ. In other words, if God does not draw a person and change them into a new creation how can a person make a dog into the Temple of God?

Romans 8:13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
