WHO BELONGS TO JESUS? Pt. 2

Mark 3:20-35

 

 

Mark 3

INTRODUCTION:

 

2 Corinthians 6:2 (NIV)For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.

 

 

Hebrews 3:7-12 (NIV)⁷ So, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice, ⁸do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the wilderness, ⁹ where your ancestors tested and tried me, though for forty years they saw what I did.  ¹⁰ That is why I was angry with that generation; I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.’ ¹¹ So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’”  ¹² See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.

 

Philippians 2:9-11 (NIV)Therefore God exalted him to the highest placeand gave him the name that is above every name,¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,¹¹ and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

 

 

 

Charles Spurgeon wrote: “Common, too common, is the sin of forgetting the Holy Spirit… the Church will never prosper until more reverently it believes in the Holy Spirit.”

 

 

 

 

What is the unpardonable sin?

 

 

 

 

 

TEXT:

Mark 3:20-35 (NIV) ²⁰ Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat.²¹ When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”

²² And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.”

²³ So Jesus called them over to him and began to speak to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan?²⁴ If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.²⁵ If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.²⁶ And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come.²⁷ In fact, no one can enter a strong man’s house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man’s house.²⁸ Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter,²⁹ but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.”

³⁰ He said this because they were saying, “He has an impure spirit.”

³¹ Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him.³² A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.”

³³ “Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked.

³⁴ Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers!³⁵ Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”
