The Character of Jesus - NON-PARTISAN

Read Mark 9:38-41.

"For he who is not against us is for us." (v. 40)

Jesus looked only at the fruit of the life--not at whether someone was "with Him" or not. He saw good things happening because of these men's work. He was supportive, and even saw that hey would joint together in the future.

I need to rejoice that other people are doing the work that I'm doing. More people will come to Christ as a result of both our efforts. And, one day, we many do things together.
