When Jesus spoke of the futility of trying to reach people who would not receive the truth, He used a commonly understood proverb of His day to warn us; "Cast not your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces." - (Matthew 7:6) This graphic metaphor illustrates the futility of wasting our precious pearls of wisdom upon those who will devalue them, dismiss them with contempt, and then retaliate by tearing into us with hatred and hostility. Unlike the graphic scenario Jesus depicted with when casting your pearls before swine, on the following pages you will read about pearls of wisdom and understanding gleaned from a long pilgrimage. They are hopefully being cast before those who won't trample them into the proverbial mud but will, instead, prayerfully weigh them in the balance of scripture and take them to heart.
