Thoughts from the Lectionary for the Third Sunday in Lent

From the Gospel Lesson: St. Luke 11:14 -28

Vs. 23 "He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth."

Here we see Christ being accused of working miracles, such as the casting out of devils, by utilizing the power of the Devil. He responds by pointing out that such a suggestion was ridiculous since any kingdom divided against itself is unable to continue in power but will fall. Jesus mentions that Satan, though fortified and armed, was now facing one who was greater than he and that ultimately his regime would fall to ruin.

We see in our Lord’s discourse two “teams”. Those who gather with Him and share in His victory and its benefits. And those who side with the Devil and fall along with his house. There is no neutral ground. Which side are you on?

Blessings,
