James 4:13-17, Ps 49, Mark 9:38-40

Not one of us

John lets Jesus know that some ‘unknown’ people are working miracles. Oh dear! How concerned Jesus must have been. John just didn’t get it. Jesus explains it’s okay for others to share in his ministry to bring about the reign of God even if they have not passed the disciples’ test. Jesus offers an inclusive approach to ministry that focusses on what can be done. Who do you identify with in these scripture readings?
