In Luke 9:49, the disciples complained to Jesus that some people were casting out demons in Jesus’ name but, they weren’t closely following them, so the disciples told them to stop it.
The disciples didn’t like their ‘new’ ways of doing things, because it wasn’t the way they were doing it. Jesus’ response may have surprised them when he said, in essence, leave them alone. Don’t stop them, because if they aren’t blatantly against us, meaning, “on the Jesus team,” then Jesus, and his disciples, should count them as for them—on the Jesus team!
How meaningful for us in the body of Christ today. We see many different approaches in ministering for the Lord; different doctrines, different methods. But is the core message the same—Jesus Christ is the risen Son of God and our soon coming King? If so, leave them alone and let God be their judge. It’s a hard lesson.
