Like the sun God shines on everyone. That doesn't always make us happy. In this Sunday's Gospel passage John tells Jesus, "We saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us" (Mark 9:38-40.) He would like to contain the power of Jesus.
In the first reading ( Numbers 11:25-29) the elders that were with Moses receive the spirit from God. Two men who were not with Moses and the elders also received the spirit and began prophesying. A man hurried to Moses and told him to stop them. He would like to contain the spirit of God. Moses replied that he wished God would send his spirit on all the people.
