Galatians 3:7-14; Psalm 111; Luke 11:15-26

Are We For or Against?

Some people are never satisfied. When Jesus casts out a devil, some watching say that he has that power because of the Prince of Devils; others want him to provide a sign from heaven just to make sure he is genuine (which rather begs the question about the sign he has already provided in casting out the devil in the first place). Our relationship with Jesus is not purely an intellectual one in which we reach a position by debate and proofs; it is a relationship with a person who asks us to commit to him totally. We each have to answer, in our own way, the question of whether we are with Jesus or against him. There is no middle ground.
