Mark 3:29
This is that spirit of antichrist that even now works in this world. These men were rejecting the evidence supplied by the Holy spirit that Jesus is indeed the Son of God. It is this great sin that Jesus speaks of here.
Repentance brings about forgiveness for all of the sins one might imagine, except one. Rejecting the message of the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven. This is why, though God has made forgiveness available, many will die and go to hell. This is why false teaching is treated so extremely. This is why, no matter how bad a person’s sins may be, we may be forgiven, and yet those who have worked against Christ are rarely saved.
Keep in mind, however, even in this case, Jesus is the judge. The Apostle Paul himself would have been written off by many. His work against Christ surely disqualified him. And yet, Christ brought forgiveness to his heart and life. Thus, we see that it is the rejection of the person of Christ that the Holy Spirit preaches to us us that is really in view here. To reject the gospel is, then, truly the unpardonable sin.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for the gospel! You have given so much to us in Christ. We will live to bring praise to you as we think of your goodness. Your love and mercy inspire us to serve and attempt more in the power of Christ. In Christ alone will we find our joy and rejoicing. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
