<p>They condemned Jesus as a heretic. Jesus and the Holy Spirit are connected as one, and they are also connected to God the Father. To blaspheme against Jesus is equivalent to blaspheming against the Holy Spirit and God the Father. Likewise, to insult the church is to insult Jesus. This is not a church-centric way of thinking. In other words, the church is not everything. However, the church is indeed the body of Christ.</p><p> </p><p>Therefore, to insult the body of Christ, which is the church, and to test the faith of the holy people of God in the church and to blaspheme the work of God is what the devil does. If one blasphemes Jesus with malice, they will not find repentance in their heart. Furthermore, those who surrender their hearts to the devil will never receive forgiveness.</p><p> </p><p>So, do not commit the sin of blaspheming against the Holy Spirit.</p><p> </p><p><i>Excerpt from the sermon by Pastor Lee, Feb 7, 2024.</i></p><p><i>Mar 3:20-30</i></p>
