He sat down and called 1 them for they were the disputers and Jesus and 1 the twelve seem to have con- i stituted the whole company. Jesus' did not, as they might have expected ■ rebuke, but rather re proven, them i and showed them the better way. He i told them exactly what constituted I greatness in the kingdom. He told I them that “If any man would be 1 first, he should lie least of all. and, servant of a".” Tn other words any titan to halve first honor must .be first in service. The kinedom of God is | not s kingdom, of self-seeking but of i sacrifice. I Erample j Jesus could) have offered no better I model than the one he chose.

Jesus piaiiny tells him to not interfere wain tne man for there w no iman who shall do a mighty work in my name and be able to quickly to speak evil ol me. He seems to have wished' to inn- press upon the mind of John that it was not for hi to pass upon the .property or passing upon the acts of others who were doing the will and work of the Master. This man, who ever he was, was doing a great work He was already casting out demons. Not only was he casting out the de mons but he was casting them out in the name of Jesus. It is very prob able that he was a Jew .but he was unknown. The miracle that ho per formed seems to have been in pri vate, .but for some reason John had been a witness .to it. In reporting to Jesus he said “ihe saw.” John did' not wait to learn what kind' of man; that was casting out demons or Whethfei he wad n favor with 'God in so-doing nor did he care in the least. He not only denied his right to work when they should have welcomed as a fellow workman, .but fonbm fvtm to continue his work. Furthermore, they were trying to destroy his faith. They were jealous for their Master’s honor. They thought that if the man was to do work in the Master’s name he should! confess him and ioin their eircle. It must have wounded, their dignity to th'nk that an 1 outsider could db the same thing thev eould, Their intolerance was not approved by Jesus. They were to know the difference between loyalty to Jesus and arguing over their own narrow prejudices. The Rebuke Very decisive and sternly did Jesus say forbid him not. He was doing a good work and it was cer tainly needed. The only fault the de sciples could find with him was that he did 1 not belong to their group and they felt that they had 1 a monopoly upon work done in the name of Jesus. In this assumption they were entirely wrong. “For there is no man who shall do a mighty woik in my name and Ibe able to ouidkly tn speak evil of me.” The mighty work noun nets him to 'Christ’s cause. “For he that is not against us is for us. This man imav not have belonged to their circle but be was on their side. So the two utterances are in per fect harmony if we only bear in mind that there is no neutral zone. There fore we are either for him or we are against him.
