Lucas 12
Vernon McGee - Our Lord's public rebuke of the religious leaders would, of course, bring their wrath down upon His head. And His disciples could expect the same kind of treatment from them. The Lord Jesus gives them these words of comfort and assurance of God's care for them. Since He sees the fall of a sparrow, He is fully aware of the needs of those who are teaching and preaching His Word. Hindson - the child of God is secure in Christ, both now and forever. Nothing can ever harm a believer in thus life, apart from the permission of God according to His perfect will. (See KJV Bible Commentary) Life Application Study Bible (page 68) - Our true value is God’s estimate of our worth, not our peers’ estimate. Other people evaluate and categorize us according to how we perform, what we achieve, and how we look. But God cares for us, as he does for all of his creatures, because we belong to him. Thus, we can face life without fear; we are very valuable to God.
Lucas 12
Vernon McGee - When a man blasphemes with his mouth, that is not the thing that condemns him; it is the attitude of his heart. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is to resist His convicting work in the heart and life. This is a permanent condition -- unless he stops resisting. (Luke - can be borrowed or Mp3 - Luke 12) Crawford - As Christians we almost always use blasphemy as taking the Lord's name in vain, but there is a distinct difference between the two expressions, "speak a word against the Son of man" and "blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost". The usual significance of "blasphemy" in the epistles is not the use of swear words (1 Tim 1:20; 6:1; 2 Pet 2:2) but is a denial of the faith. This blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is not idle words at all, but a denial of the Spirit's testimony to the Lord Jesus. Apart from accepting the testimony of the Spirit there can be no new birth (John 3:5-7), so a person who rejects His testimony "lies under the guilt of an everlasting sin" (Mark 3:29 JND). ((What the Bible teaches – Luke) Wesleyan Bible Commentary - The unforgivable sin is sin against the Holy Spirit. Matthew's record places this statement immediately following the Pharisees' declaration that Jesus cast out demons by the power of Beelzebub (Matt. 12:31), which suggests that the sin of which Jesus spoke is that of seeing the work of God and declaring it to be the work of the devil. The work of the Holy Spirit is to convict us of sin, convince us of truth, connect us with Christ's atonement, and confirm our relationship with God (John 16:8-13). If we defy the work of the Holy Spirit, we have no access to the source of forgiveness. The only unforgivable sin is the sin that will not respond to the Spirit that would lead to forgiveness.There is great danger in deadening the voice of the Spirit by constant and consistent denial, in blurring the line between good and evil so that you are no longer sensitive toward either, and in ridiculing the redemptive work of Christ until it is no longer believed to be either necessary or effective. It is possible to push yourself beyond the reach of God and be without Christ and without hope. (Wesleyan Bible Commentary – Luke) Welwyn Commentary Series - But what is the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit which will not be forgiven? (12:10). Every sin of a believer is forgiven even though he or she might on occasion speak against the Lord. But those who continually make up their minds to pay no attention to the prompting of the Spirit have placed themselves on the road that leads to perdition.
