Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 11:14-23.
Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute, and when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke and the crowds were amazed.
Some of them said, "By the power of Beelzebul, the prince of demons, he drives out demons."
Others, to test him, asked him for a sign from heaven.
But he knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste and house will fall against house.
And if Satan is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that it is by Beelzebul that I drive out demons.
If I, then, drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your own people drive them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
But if it is by the finger of God that (I) drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
When a strong man fully armed guards his palace, his possessions are safe.
But when one stronger than he attacks and overcomes him, he takes away the armor on which he relied and distributes the spoils.
Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
Reflection:
"Whoever is not with me is against me." This reminds us that Jesus is inviting us to come to Him and be in His side, so that we are far from His enemy, we are strong to fight in the battle of temptation. My dear brothers and sisters, Jesus reminds us that God is stronger than the evil one because He is the God. So we must not be afraid if we are with God, for we have His protection and spirit, but in accordance of having Him in our life, let us also help other people who doesn't want to be with God's side. Let us help them in realizing that in the side of God, the enemy or the evil one can't make any changes in their lives. Amen.
