Mark 3:20-30 Unforgivable Sin

How would it be to have Jesus come into your house?   Every time he goes to a house, there's a crowd gathering outside  trying to get inside.   The same thing is happening now, and He never has time to eat.   I like this part when His family tries to take him away saying "He's out of his mind".   His family was concerned about his welfare, and health.  

The in comes the teachers of the religious law, all the way from Jerusalem, and try to accuse Jesus of being possessed by Satan.   Jesus tells them a parable about "How can Satan drive out Satan", and a house divided will fall.  

He also says something interested "I tell you the truth, all sin and blasphemy can be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven.   This is a with eternal consequences."  He told them this because they were saying, "He's possessed by an evil spirit."    

Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is the one sin that can never be forgiven ... basically the religious teachers came all the way from Jerusalem, not to talk to Jesus, they new the truth of His words, and really ... I think they knew that  He wasn't possessed by demons, they were just trying to persecute Him because were afraid of his teachings, and the people that were starting to pay attention to him.

In short .. They were calling the work of God a work of Satan... and they knew that.

Let that be a  warning to us.
