But we may have our choice. Christ is the magnet of the ages. He draws or drives away. This is the unpardonable sin. These Pharisees had already committed it.
People often ask if they can commit the unpardonable sin.
Probably some do who ridicule the manifest work of God's Spirit in men's lives and attribute the Spirit's work to the devil. But these Pharisees had deliberately made their choice and had taken Satan's side. The charge against Jesus of being in league with Satan reveals the evil heart within. Jesus often repeated his crisp pungent sayings as every teacher does. A word that does no good and so is pernicious like pernicious anaemia.
