What is the Unforgivable Sin / Unpardonable Sin?
from GotQuestions.org
This WeakEnd Assignment continues our chapter-by-chapter
exploration of the book of Mark.
Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed for an
hour. Bring your Bible and notebook (remember
to mark the date of your work). Have a
refreshment and something to write with.
Settle in and pray for the Lord to quiet your heart and help you
discover new gems in this chapter that you’ve never seen before.
Open your Bible to Mark chapter 3 and answer these questions:
Verses 1-6
1. Where
are we and who are the characters in these verses?
2. Jesus
asked a simple question, but what was the hidden message in the question He
asked?
3. Why
was Jesus angry?
Verses 7-12
4. Why
do you think people followed Jesus? What
was their motive?
5. If
you had been one of the disciples with Jesus, what would you be wondering?
Verses 13-19
6. What
was the job of the disciples.
7. Write
out a list of the names of the 12 disciples.
Verses 20-27
8. Where
did Jesus go next?
9. What
were those He met thinking about Jesus?
10. What is the parable/ story that Jesus tells and
why is this true even today?
Verses 28-30
11. Watch the video to better understand the ‘unforgiveable
sin’. Write down some notes about what
you learn so you can share these insights with others.
Verses 31-35
12. Write out verse 35 and consider memorising it.
When you have completed noting your observations in your notebook,
stop, quiet your heart and pray in thanksgiving for what you have learned and
ask the Lord for an opportunity to share this with at least one person this
week.
Take care with love, especially His, Darlene (who still
prays for you each day)
