Salt
Blue v38-50 Ch 9 MarkThe disciples didn't think this person was on their side because this person didn't hang around their circle of ministry friends so John was sharing with Jesus how they had forbade this person from casting out demons in Jesus Name, but Jesus said that he who is not against you is on your side, and not to forbid him from flowing in ministry because no one who works a miracle in Jesus Name can soon afterward speak evil of Jesus. And that rewards will not be taken away from the person who so much as gives away a cup of water in Jesus Name, because you belong to Christ, he will by no means lose his reward. v38-41
But the warning Jesus does give is in causing one who believes in Him to stumble... that this is how rewards are lost, saying that if your hand (what you do), or foot (the places you travel), or your eye (lust-greed-devouring), causes you to sin, then cut those places out of your life so that at least you can enter heaven crippled, which is better than being cast into hell and into the fire that shall never be quenched, where worms don't die and fire isn't quenched. v42-48
Jesus recommends having salt in yourself, and having peace with one another (v50).
