For whoever is not against us is for us

For whoever is not against us is for us

Mark 9:38-40. For whoever is not against us is for us

This, for me, demonstrates the allure of the teachings of Jesus. When common sense or the “law of the jungle” would say that our world is that of survival of the fittest, when we say that those who are not with us are against us, Jesus would go the other way.

Whoever is not against us is for us.

Isn’t this more inclusive, instead of the divisive ways we tend to fall into?

Doesn’t this speak to the existence of the objective good and virtue?
