This Gospel of Mark spells out three points. The first is when John is perturbed that someone outside their circle is expelling demons. Jesus corrects John and says let him be. He is doing the work of the Spirit.

The second teaching outlines when anyone gives you a drink of water, he is going to receive favor from the Lord. A simple act of kindness is rewarded.

The third lesson is the opposite of the second. If you try to lead a follower away from  Christ, a millstone should be put around you neck, because misguiding a follower is a huge act of darkness.
