An Honor for a Spy
Phyllis Latour Doyle was 23 years old when she dropped by parachute behind enemy lines in Normandy. It was the summer of 1945. She had been trained by a cat burglar, released from prison for the war effort. Phyllis Doyle disguised herself as a French peasant girl, selling soap from her bicycle. Her task was to spy on the Germans and their locations, leading up to D-Day. She was able to send 135 messages out of France to Allied Command Headquarters.
Doyle is now 93 years old. Her children did not know about her clandestine activities until about 15 years ago. Recently, Doyle was honored by the French government, being awarded the Legion of Honor for her work. The Legion of Honor is France’s highest honor.
The enemies of Christ would not work openly. Jesus taught a parable against the nation of Israel and her leaders in Luke 20, the parable of the vinegrowers. The scribes and chief priests knew Jesus had taught this parable against them – “Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust” (verse 18).
The scribes and chief priests sent spies who “pretended to be righteous” so they could catch Him in some way. They were so envious and jealous that they would stop at nothing to put Jesus to silence or death. Eventually, of course, Jesus was crucified for telling the Truth.

He was dealing with false teachers who were distorting the Gospel of Christ and adding man’s own views to God’s word. Specifically, these false teachers were binding circumcision which had been a part of God’s law but no longer was/is. Yet, these false teachers were not honorable enough to teach their views openly.
Instead, Paul writes in Galatians 2:4: “But it was because of the false brethren secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage.”
Today, false teachers still work secretly. They are still deceitful. They still speak “smooth words” and “flattery” (cf. Romans 16:17) in order to boost their resume, stroke their ego, or line their pockets. They say, today, that we are not under “law.” They say there is no “pattern” in the New Testament to follow. They argue that “liberty in Christ” means that we are free to follow our own experiences and our own urges.
Yet, when you compare their words with the clear words of Scripture, they show themselves to be self-deluded, hollow, and deceitful. Spying against Christians is not honorable.
