Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Evil of Skepticism in Faith”: In today’s Gospel, the crowd accused Jesus of using Beelzebul, the prince of devil’s power to perform His miracles. However, there were others who were amazed at Jesus. He responded, “Anyone who is not with Me is against Me.” Ponder on, “If we are sincerely seeking God’s Truth; we are not against Jesus.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 11:14-18a, 20, 23
Jesus was driving out a devil and it was dumb; and it happened that when the devil had gone out the dumb man spoke, and the people were amazed. But some of them said, ‘It is through Beelzebul, the prince of devils, that he drives devils out.’ Others asked him, as a test, for a sign from heaven; but, knowing what they were thinking, he said to them,
‘Any kingdom which is divided against itself is heading for ruin, and house collapses against house. So, too, with Satan: if he is divided against himself, how can his kingdom last? But if it is through the finger of God that I drive devils out, then the kingdom of God has indeed caught you unawares.
‘Anyone who is not with me is against me; and anyone who does not gather in with me throws away.’
