"What is the Unpardonable Sin?" || Luke 12:10-12

+ Rejecting Jesus can be forgiven, but denouncing the Holy Spirit's direct witness (through us) about Jesus will not be forgiven. This type of rejection is unforgivable (Lk 12:10). The response by the Sanhedrin to Stephen illustrates this in action (Acts 7).

+ When we are called to defend our faith, we have no cause to fear because the Holy Spirit will take control of what needs to be said (Lk 12:11-12). Paul's defense to King Agrippa and Governor Festus in Acts 26 illustrates this in action.

Takeaways:

Put this tool in your tool kit and be prepared to use it to reassure the person God brings into your path who may fear he/she has committed the unpardonable sin - a groundless fear. 

Comfort, confidence, and compassion: Our Master will not forsake us, or abandon us, or fail us in our hour of need. This truth brings comfort and confidence for the rest of our journey.

The Holy Spirit is never tardy or late, but always right on time to help us.  He is ever-present, ever-aware, ever-timely, and ever-knowing. He knows what we are experiencing, and is prepared, whatever the hour, to assist us.
