Luke 9:  50 "Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”

The disciples are disappointing Jesus. They were unable to cast the demon out of a boy, but he could and did. They couldn't understand about the crucifixion to come, and then they argued about which of them was the greatest. Finally they try to stop a man who is casting out demons in Jesus's name. 

I am interested in the concept of who is not against you. Is it enough that  isn't opposed to you?  Do we demand too much of our fellow man?  

Prayer:  I will try to be more tolerant of those around me. I will accept that they are for me, even when the best I can say is that they aren't against me. Your people deserve more respect from me. I know You love them. I will love them too. 
Amen
