The disciples pointed out to Jesus that they rebuked a person that was believing on Christ, but not following Him in the same way that they were.
Likewise, Christians today like to gloat about “standing up for God”, “taking a stand on the Word”, or “rebuking in love” another believer that doesn’t share their doctrinal beliefs.
It didn’t work out too well for the disciples.
Jesus wasn’t impressed.
Why do we think He would be pleased with our gloating, especially on social media like Facebook or from the pulpit?
