Pearls Before Swine
- Jesus's saying about not giving pearls to swine isn't about hating pigs.
- It's a metaphor: pigs don't recognize a pearl's value, just as some people don't recognize the cost of spiritual gifts or anointing.
- Recognizing the value and source of these gifts (honor) is crucial for receiving them.
- People may want the benefits of the Messiah but reject the Messiah himself.
