Episode Details

Have those close to you ever thought you were out of your mind? Jesus' family apparently felt that way about him. Meanwhile, the higher religious authorities come down from Jerusalem to "assess" Jesus and his ministry. Their conclusion? Jesus is actually in league with the Devil! Jesus responds but also warns them of the spiritual danger they are in because of their hardened hearts. He specifically mentions "blasphemy against the Holy Spirit" and calls it the unforgivable sin! What is this sin? Have we perhaps committed it, even unknowingly?

For Reflection:

- Did Jesus' family think he was out of his mind? Why do you think Jesus’ ministry caused such confusion and opposition?

- Have you ever dismissed or explained away the truth because it challenged you? How did you come to recognize what you were doing?

- How might God be inviting you to cultivate a heart that remains sensitive to the Holy Spirit?

- Prayer: Holy Spirit, help me recognize and respond to you with trust and humility.
