Thank you Onyekachukwu for your beautiful comment. It is very explanatory. Let me add that the serpent is a very sensitive creature. Though very harmful is wise enough to be able to survive in the most unfriendly habitat. I also think that Jesus Christ was telling us that in a world that is often at variance with the belief and doctrine of the church, we must apply great wisdom just like the serpent often does, to survive without conforming to the world. So when we go out there to fulfil the mandate of the master, chances are that some will definitely resist us. However wisdom demands that we leave quietly when rejected but dust our shoes out there as a witness that they have heard the gospel but rejected it.
