El que no esta contra nosotros, esta a favor

Mc 9, 38-40

En aquel tiempo, Juan le dijo a Jesús: "Hemos visto a uno que expulsaba a los demonios en tu nombre, y como no es de los nuestros, se lo prohibimos". Pero Jesús le respondió: "No se lo prohíban, porque no hay ninguno que haga milagros en mi nombre, que luego sea capaz de hablar mal de mí. Todo aquel que no está contra nosotros, está a nuestro favor".

GospelMK 9:38-40

John said to Jesus,
"Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name,
and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us."
Jesus replied, "Do not prevent him.
There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name
who can at the same time speak ill of me.
For whoever is not against us is for us."

Meditacion:

El evangelio de hoy es una bofetada a nuestras creencias. No es de los nuestros, no es de nuestra raza, no es de nuestro color, no cree lo que nosotros creemos, no es de la misma orientacion sexual.. y asi podria seguir todo el dia.

Nos hemos llenado de barreras, de peajes y pasos en los cuales unos son aceptados y otros rechazados.

Cuantas veces yo les he dicho que usemos la teologia para construir puentes, no para separar fronteras!

Jesus ni se preocupa por saber quien era el que expulsaba demonios. El era consciente que su gracia no comenzaba y terminaba en El, que el Espiritu Santo podia manifestarse en otras personas y lo dice bien claro: " Todo aquel que no está contra nosotros, está a nuestro favor".

Hermanos dejemos de cuidar fronteras que no sirven, mentales, economicas, fisicas... la clave es el amor al projimo que nos permite aceptarlos tal y como son, sin cambiar nada.

Amar al projimo no es sencillo, sin duda nos cambiaria la vida pero es es el comienzo de dejar de estar en contra y pasar a estar a favor. Amen

The gospel of today is a slap in the face of our beliefs. It is not ours, it is not of our race, it is not our color, it does not believe what we believe, it is not of the same sexual orientation .. and so it could continue all day.

We have filled ourselves with barriers, with tolls and steps in which some are accepted and others rejected.

How many times have I told you to use theology to build bridges, not to separate borders!

Jesus does not care to know who was the one who expelled demons. He was aware that his grace did not begin and ended in him, that the Holy Spirit could manifest itself in other people and he says it very clearly: "Everyone who is not against us is in our favor".

Brothers let's stop taking care of borders that are not useful, mental, economic, physical ... the key is the love of neighbor that allows us to accept them as they are, without changing anything.

Loving the neighbor is not easy, without a doubt it would change our lives but it is the beginning to stop being against and to be in favor. Amen
