fox in Matthew 8
FOX
This creature shows up in Matthew 8:20: “Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Matthew 8:20
“Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.””
What kids can learn
When you hear fox in Matthew, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Matthew 8:20 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
