Title: Is There a Sin Jesus Can't Forgive?
Series: The Gospel of Mark: A Journey With Jesus
Author: Jim Perdue
Text: Mark 3:22-35
-*Is there anything Jesus can't do? We like to think there's nothing He can't do. In fact, we teach our kids to sing the song, My God is so big, so strong and so might, there's nothing my God cannot do... Now, I understand teaching kids about the might and power of God, but there are some things God cannot do. God cannot do something that's logically impossible.

-The phrase "the unpardonable sin," to any spiritually sensitive person, strikes terror and fear. It is like hearing the words "Antichrist," "false prophet," "great tribulation," or "lake of fire." They all serve as striking reminders that sin is real and judgment is sure. Actually the phrase "the unpardonable sin" does not occur in the Bible. However, the concept is identified in our text as "an eternal sin" (3:29). This does not soften the impact of the words. This denotes a sin that, once committed, will never be forgiven and will condemn us eternally to hell-the lake of fire.
-The question is: what is this unforgivable sin, this unforgivable blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? First, let us note what it is not. It is no ...
