Corona Chronicles - Crown of Thorns

Welcome to Coronocorticals. We've been looking at this phenomenal sandwich and we've got We got a little bit stuck in it because it's just so rich. The the 2 pieces of bread in this story, either side of the sort of middle. And the 2 pieces of bread were how the family treated Jesus. They thought he would say out of his mind.

And then in the middle, you've got the religious leaders thinking he's Satan and then Jesus dealing with that, and we've seen some goody stuff. It's worth you going back if you haven't heard And we're gonna just read from verse 20 28 of chapter 3 of Mark's gospel. Truly, I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter. But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven. They are guilty of an eternal sin.

Now this is really hefty stuff Yeah. And it does cause a lot of people problems, doesn't it? It does. Yeah. You know, what is the eternal sin?

That's the big question you you hear. Yep. And we're gonna answer that. Yeah. That's right.

But the trouble is, the reason why I think people have so much trouble with it is that they rip it out of its context. Like, we've just done. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah.

So, you know, for verse 28, just just briefly, Isn't it great? And that's what we've been saying over the last couple of days. Isn't it wonderful that people can be forgiven all their sins? Yes. Jesus has come into the world, he's the rescuer.

He's the stronger man. He's coming to Satan's house, and he's plundering the house. He's rescuing people. He's All they said. Yeah.

Freedom them from from from death and decay and sin, rebellion. Yeah. And it's because because it's very interesting. This verse where it says that the sin's unforgivable. Talking to a lot of young young -- Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. -- they really think it's got to do with pornography -- Yeah. -- or, you know, even debatia. It always yeah.

It always seems to be the the the the sort of, like, the biggest sin for you at the time. Doesn't Yes. Yeah. And for a lot of blows. It's that sort of area.

Yeah. So but we're saying, don't you think that Jesus' death don't you think Jesus could rescue you from the results of even your pornography? I'm not belittling pornography. I'm not belittling that that isn't an issue. But don't you think that Jesus died on the cross -- Yeah.

-- to to be able to forgive you of that? Yeah. Yeah. And the odds is, yes. Yeah.

Even that all your sin, it's belittling Jesus, isn't it? If you if you think that you're the one's the biggest thing you struggle with is not forgivable. Then it does it doesn't say much for your -- The rescuers. -- view of the the rescuer. Yeah.

Sorry. So it's like yesterday, me saying to the the firemen. No. No, mate. It's just too bad.

Yeah. Go away. Don't even try. Yeah. Yeah.

I've tried with my little nose. Yeah. Yeah. It's you're okay. That's been a long.

Yeah. Okay. So But what is it? So the first thing you're absolutely right to have picked that out, and let's just rub that in. All their sins and every slander they utter.

Yeah. So things from the lips -- Yeah. -- things from the mouth -- Yeah. -- all of the things that we've said or typed or -- Yeah. -- you know, the vicious -- Yeah.

-- all yeah. But but that nasty thing, isn't it? I think people go wrong. Like some for some of masturbation, sexual sin -- Yeah. -- others, it's stuff they say, you know.

So because, you know, because it says it says anything, they any slander, they utter. So people go, well, what could it be? And maybe I can blaspheme the Holy Spirit. Yeah. And they and they sort of they think it's a spiritual kind of like hairy fairy kind of thing.

You know, as a feeling, if you if you deny or quench or whatever, you know, that's they think that, oh, I'm I'm done for it. I'm lost. Yeah. You know, I can't be forgiven that. Okay.

So what so he says that there's there's only 1 sin, isn't it? Yeah. That can never be forgiven. So we need to find out what that is, which is this blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. And that will keep them in their eternal guilt.

Yes. Yeah. So what is that, blasphemy early spirit? Well, for a start, calling Jesus, the lord of the flies, the prince of demons -- That's it. -- is like yeah.

That's the, you know, the madest thing you could ever do. Yeah. Yeah. So that and that's basically what it is, isn't it? Is it?

It's denying who Jesus is and what he's come to do. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. So if Jesus is the Savior, and I say, I don't want to be saved.

Yeah. You're in a sin. Yep. And and the pharisees, the these are religious people. These are like, why to the white people money, you know, on the outside.

Yeah. And, you know, they've been they've been they've rectified them covered to cover. They've probably memorized it. They've been waiting for this waiting for Messiah for years. And here he is.

He's doing he's fulfilling stuff that is promised about him in in the old testament. Yeah. And they're they're saying, Nahah. Yeah. Don't look at it.

Again, if you go back to my fire -- Yeah. -- it's like me saying to the fireman. But go away. Yeah. How dare you go into my house?

Who do you who the heck do you think you are? Yeah. I I don't like it's not fire. That's just central heating on. Yeah.

I don't yes. I don't believe in the fire. Yeah. I don't believe that all do me any who do you think you are interrupting my life as some kind of savior? Well, if you've got some kind of pop call blanks But then, you know, if you think about what we've done in my it's like, I'm isn't a fire?

What are you talking about? You know, my house is on fire at all. Yes. It's just, you know, it's just, you know, I've just sprayed it. I've just it so you work with death.

Yeah. Yeah. They totally did not deny who Jesus is. Even though it's been plain as the nose and effects -- Yep. -- that that, you know, he is He's freeing people.

He's forgiving people. They're sins. That's what. That's what. It's got their back up.

And so in in 1 sense, there is really only 1 sin now -- Yeah. -- in 1 sense. I I know I know. Yeah. And that is if you will not come to Jesus as your Lord and your Savior.

If you will not do that, you will die in your Savior. You will have the eternal guilt. Because because you because you haven't come to the 1 that will Yeah. You know, it's like get the fire exit. Why not going down there?

Yeah. Well, you'll die there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

So the the very least you should do is check it out. You know? Yeah. If someone's if someone says, look, you've got you've got a disease. I've got cure.

Yep. You'd be mad not to check it out. Well, is this guy talking sense? Does he have any qualifications? Yep.

You know, like, do I really have a disease? You know, if you just go nah. Yeah. So that is what Jesus the leper came to Jesus and said, if you are willing, Yeah. You can make me clean and Jesus said, I am willing to be clean.

Yeah. Now if the leper said, well, you know, I'm not as bad as that leper. And, you know, I can I can sort of econ existence? Yeah. I can even get a little bit of, you know, people chucking some money in the pot.

Yeah. To get rid of me. Yeah. But I can sort of live. Yeah.

And and and now you're the guy in your electricity. I've I came to you know, the only the sick need a doctor. Right? Yeah. And the therapist is there, and I'm not sick.

Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. You know? So it's all about Are you listening to who Jesus is?

The 1 that comes breaking into our life to save us from the kingdom of satan and ourselves, are you saying, get out of here? I'm happy being tied up by Satan. Are you I like my habits. Yeah. Yeah.

You know, it's just an excuse, isn't it? Yeah. It's this pride just because you don't wanna admit you're you don't wanna admit you're sick. You're actually just like the pharisee. Yeah.

I think people think the pharisees are are, you know, the bad guys and always the bad guys in the story, and I'm I'm all like them. But back to my Jesus, you are. Yeah. I mean, and it's interesting how people do this because back to our little truth to tell series, which is an explanation on Facebook. Very brief.

Yeah. It's coming out soon. Yeah. I think it'll be better out. Yeah.

This is going on. But another 1 of the responses was which got. Yeah. You know? In other words, it's I don't even I'm not thinking I'm just coming out with phrases.

Yeah. But another 1 was are people allowed to proselytize us on this site? In other words, I don't wanna hear. Yeah. Okay.

Well then you won't hear about the savior and therefore how can you be saved here. So these are very serious issues. Yeah. So all sins are forgiven by the Savior, but obviously if you don't come to the Savior, your sins are forgiven. Yeah.

See you next time.
