Mark 3:23–30 (NKJV): 23 So He called them to Himself and said to them in parables: “How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26 And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end. 27 No one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder his house.
28 “Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter; 29 but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation”—30 because they said, “He has an unclean spirit.”
So yesterday I spoke about how illogical it was for the Scribe's to accuse Jesus the way they did. Look here at Jesus' answer to them, simple logic. It would be utterly futile for Satan's plan to flourish if he is working against himself. If a burglar doesn't first tie up the strongman of the home, he cannot expect to be successful in his endeavor. This is the logic of Jesus: sensible and practical. But after this lesson He delivers a stern warning, and one that has unfortunately been misinterpreted by many in the church, the unpardonable sin. All sins will be forgiven except the sin of blaspheme against the Holy Spirit. So much speculation has been offered up by pastors and well intentioned church people, but that is all it is, speculation. The context here makes it easy to see what Jesus was saying. The blaspheme against the Holy Spirit Jesus is referring to is the Scribe's associating Jesus' casting out demons by Beelzebub. In other words if they (the Scribes) fail to associate the miracles of Jesus to the power of the Holy Spirit, and associate it to demons, then they cannot understand who Jesus is and if they Cannot comprehend that, they cannot be saved. And so as long as they take that position they never will. May we always see the power of God in the work of our Lord.
