Luke 12:10-11

Do not grieve the heart of God. Holy Spirit is the full expression of Gods’ love for His creation. Always a gentleman He only shows Himself when we invite Him in. The more we listen to His quiet voice the more we can be guided into the will of the Father. 


God sees His Son in us and loves us with an abiding love that we will never fully understand. Spiritual things are discerned through our spirit, they will never be understood in our flesh.


God is love!


We need to be very careful not to call good evil, or evil good.


There is a better way! This world, with its problems and worries and chaos, isn't going to change. But that doesn't mean we have to let it steal our sanity. It is possible to find peace in the middle of it all! That peace, that better way, is found in Jesus. 


Jesus Himself said, "Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth" (Matthew 10:34). Jesus acknowledged that this world was going to be a mess. Yet even though there was not peace on the earth, there was peace in Jesus. His peace was completely solid and unbreakable, even to the point of death.


Jesus' words will be a lamp for our feet and a light for our path (Psalm 119:105) as we journey toward peace. First5 


Luke 12:10-11

10 “And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven. 11 “Now when they bring you to the synagogues and magistrates and authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you should say. 12 For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.” The New King James Version


This likely refers to denying the Spirit’s power, what God has revealed in Jesus, or perhaps claiming that the Spirit’s power is somehow associated with evil forces. Faithlife Study Bible


A word against the Son of Man is forgivable because His deity was veiled, but blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is flagrant rejection of the works and words of Christ. 


This is another indication that religious persecution is in view in these verses. Magistrates and authorities governed civil proceedings, while synagogues conducted religious tribunals. In such situations, the disciple should not worry about what to say. The NKJV Study Bible


Matthew 12:31 “Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.


Matthew 12:32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.


Mark 3:28 “Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter;


Mark 3:29 but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation”—


Mark 3:30 because they said, “He has an unclean spirit.”
