![]() ![]() The Bible calls that a sin, but it is a sin of ignorance. I try to take aim, and let go, and the arrow goes PLOP! I missed the mark. And so I take that bow and I pick up my arrow, and I draw back the string of that bow just as far as I can, and there’s the target. Right? That’s not an insult! It’s the truth! I don’t know how to do it. Let’s suggest that you give me a bow and an arrow, and I have never shot the bow before. The word sin, hamartia, means “to miss the mark.” But it will become very clear to you as we proceed that there are different ways to miss the target. I want you to picture the scene: Here I am.

We hear a lot in the world today about political unrest and about arms control and social action. You know, there are many topics that we don’t hear too much about, and I think I know why. Would you say Amen? In Matthew 12:31 Jesus is speaking, and He says, “All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but blasphemy against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven unto men.” Our topic tonight is “The Unpardonable Sin.” If there is a condition so grave that no grace and no power can rescue us, we ought to know what it is.
