MATTHEW 12:22-32 | PASTOR MICHAEL JOHNSON

MATTHEW | THE KING THAT WENT TO THE CROSS (AUDIO ONLY) Matthew 12:22-32 | The Unforgivable Sin This sermon explores Jesus' confrontation with the Pharisees after He healed a demon-oppressed man who was blind and mute. While the crowds began asking if Jesus could be the promised Son of David, the Pharisees accused Him of casting out demons by Satan's power. Jesus responded by exposing the illogic of their accusation and warning them about blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. This text reveals that neutrality toward Jesus is impossible. We must either be for Him or against Him. The unforgivable sin isn't a single statement we might accidentally make, but rather a continual rejection of the Holy Spirit's testimony about Jesus, which closes off the only path to forgiveness: repentance. Pastor Michael gave us urgent implications for our spiritual life, reminding us that self-righteousness blinds us to our need for Jesus, and that the evidence of His power demands a response.
