the story of jesus // mark 3:20-35

The Pharisees brought many accusations against Jesus during his ministry.  Out of all those charges, only one was labeled unforgivable--blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.  They essentially said Jesus was empowered by demons, rather than by the Holy Spirit.  Often we are quick to judge or condemn people, ideas, and movements that look different from ours.  But Jesus welcomes all who do the will of the Father.
