Summary
Christ now warns of the unpardonable sin—the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. This is not every doubt or blasphemous word, but a specific and settled rejection of God’s truth when it has been made known through the Spirit’s clear testimony. When a man, with full knowledge, calls the Spirit’s work demonic, he reveals a heart that is not only hostile to God but irreversibly seared.
*Let us take this not as a point of speculative terror, but as a sober warning. If we are grieved by this sin and fear we may have committed it, that very grief is evidence that we have not, for the heart that has sinned in such a manner is no longer tender.

| 0:00.0 | Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. I get it. It's annoying. Everybody |
| 0:05.6 | asks, but I'm going to tell you why. When you give us a positive review, what that does is it |
| 0:10.8 | triggers the algorithm so that our podcast shows up on more people's news feeds. You and I both know |
| 0:17.2 | that this ministry is willing to talk about things that most ministries aren't. We need |
| 0:22.3 | this content for the glory of God to reach more people's ears. Amen. Please join me in standing for |
| 0:28.7 | the reading of God's word. This Lord's Day we continue our series through the gospel according to |
| 0:33.4 | Matthew. I'm regularly using that phrasing the gospel according to Matthew because it's not Matthew's |
| 0:39.8 | gospel. It's the gospel of God. So we have one gospel, not for the gospel of Jesus Christ, |
| 0:45.6 | but according to four human authors inspired by the one Holy Spirit. So we have the gospel of Jesus Christ |
| 0:52.4 | according to Matthew, according to Mark, according to Luke, |
| 0:55.8 | and according to John. All four of the gospel narratives agree with one another, and yet each of |
| 1:02.8 | them is distinct and helpful for us, the people of God. So we're going through the gospel according |
| 1:08.2 | to Matthew. Today's text is Matthew chapter 12 verses 22 through 37. |
| 1:13.5 | It's a longer text and so this is going to be a two-part sermon for the sake of time, |
| 1:19.2 | but I'll read the entirety of our text today. When I finish reading the text, I would appreciate |
| 1:23.7 | very much if you would respond by saying thanks be to God. |
| 1:28.5 | One final time, our text for today is the Gospel according to Matthew, Chapter 12, |
| 1:32.7 | verses 22 through 37, the Bible says this. |
| 1:36.1 | Then a demon-oppressed man, who was blind and mute, was brought to him, and he healed |
| 1:42.0 | him, so that the man spoke and saw, and all the people were amazed and |
| 1:47.5 | said, can this be the son of David? But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, it is only by |
| 1:54.6 | Bielasible, the prince of demons, that this man cast out demons, knowing their thoughts. |
