Proverbs 17:10-11

Proverbs 17:10 A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.
11 An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
 
As this scripture begins we see that when a wise man is corrected it is harder on him but he knows how to accept it. This shows he has a teachable spirit. Where a fool can be beat and it does not change his mind cause he is so used ti it and you cannot teach him anything. As the scripture goes on we know a fool is rebellious which also makes him evil. A person who rebels against God will miss heaven,against society will wind up in jail, against his family will find himself alone, against his teacher will find himself unlearned. Rebellion is very destructive. We see the messengers in each situation that come this evil person, all are against him.
These people are still people who need the saving grace of Jesus Christ and we are the ones who need to find them and share what God has for them.
