Mark 3:22-30

The scribes who had come down from Jerusalem were saying, ‘Beelzebul is in him’ and, ‘It is through the prince of devils that he casts devils out.’

This is one of the few times we find in scripture where Jesus is hurt by the evil, nasty words of the scribes. He goes on to say in response to this slanderous statement “‘I tell you solemnly, all men’s sins will be forgiven, and all their blasphemies; but let anyone blaspheme against the Holy Spirit and he will never have forgiveness:”

I am sure you have had some nasty untruths said about you. When someone not only attacks our character but spits on everything we are it hurts. I often replay the words in my mind and take deep sighs. Have you completely dealt with those untruths? Does it still hurt? I do not want to unearth them but you know this is something you have to take to counseling or prayer. Let us pray today for all those who hurt because of what we said or someone else said. And let us be the ones to correct the record. God bless us all.
