Huh?

Scripture – Luke 11:14-20: 14Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. When the demon left, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowd was amazed. 15But some of them said, “By Beelzebub, the prince of demons, he is driving out demons.” 16Others tested him by asking for a sign from heaven. 17Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: “Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall. 18If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this because you claim that I drive out demons by Beelzebub. 19Now if I drive out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your followers drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. 20But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.

Reflection: One thing I strive for in this little blogging exercise is honesty. With that in mind, I must admit to some confusion here. I’m not sure what Jesus is trying to say.

The main lesson I take from this is to keep doing good, regardless of what people may think. My goal is to emulate Christ – to love and serve people as He did. To that end I will keep living today.
