HI. The Intolerance of Selfishness
(vv. 38-41): "
1. John's guilty conscience (v. 38).
Inxthe light of the teaching of Jesus
John was a little disturbed over, hav
ing "forbid" a worker for Christ who
did not follow, after him. Doubtless"
this intolerance was 4n part 'due tb
jealousy for Curist, but also a selfish
ambition. Many times Christians mis
take bigotry for zeal for Christ.'
' 2. Whom to tolerate (w. 39-41).
(1) Those who are casting out dev
ils (v. 39). We should really satisfy
ourselves that supernatural works are
being, done.- -Are demons being cast
out? However, this is not final, as
there is - a supernatural work not of
God. -
(2) Those who are not doing this
work ii Christ's name (v. 41). Any
worker -going forth inx the name of
Chrrst, and-for the grory. of Christ.
'should be'.eiven Godspeed. If - he- is
