In this sobering message, we examine what it looks like when people knowingly reject Jesus Christ. From premeditated hatred to slanderous accusations, this passage reveals the heart of those who are not simply indifferent—but hostile—to the Savior. Jesus heals a demon-possessed man who is blind and mute, and the crowd begins to wonder if He might truly be the Messiah. But rather than rejoice, the religious leaders spin the moment into a lie, accusing Jesus of operating by the power of Satan. This is not ignorance. It’s deliberate, public, and dangerous rejection of the Holy Spirit’s work through Christ—a rejection Jesus calls blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. This sermon explains: ✲ The nature of rejecting Christ with eyes wide open ✲ The danger of gaslighting truth and crediting evil for good ✲ Why the “unpardonable sin” was specific to a time and people, yet still carries a warning today ✲ How your words and fruit reveal the condition of your heart You may not have committed the unpardonable sin, but rejecting Jesus is still deadly. There is still time to receive the gift of salvation and forgiveness through Him. Don’t harden your heart.
