Sinning against the Holy Spirit. ( Matthew 12 v 22 - 32 )

What do you think is the greatest sin? well it appears to be blaspheming against the Holy Spirit,which we read about in Matthew 12 v 31- 32. To appreciate why Jesus said this one must see it in its context,who it was said to,? the Pharisees,who had accused and attributed the miracles of Jesus as being performed to the demons. Consider these people who reverenced the  scripture,and believed in a Messiah,they should of all people have recognised and acknowledged who Jesus was.Yet no matter what the scripture said, no matter what Jesus did, no matter what He said,they would not for one minute,believe in him.Their hatred of Him grew and grew,that they blasphemed as regards the Holy Spirit.It was as Barnes puts it, ''A wanton and blasphemous attack on the divine power and nature of Christ''.Nothing was going to change their wicked and hardened hearts,nothing,in spite of  their privileged  position, they brazenly opposed Christ, which led them to not only reject Him, but to also crucify Him.
