The Identity of Jesus

Jesus’s popularity continues to grow. Religious leaders wonder, “What is happening with this miracle worker in Galilee?” and send a delegation from Jerusalem to get to the bottom of it. These religious officials eventually accuse Jesus of being possessed by Satan. Jesus, filled with the Holy Spirit since his baptism, informs them that all sins can be forgiven except for “whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit.” They have attributed God’s work to Satan and denied the Savior God sent to rescue them.
