Jesus was just speaking of those who were doing good, even doing it on the Sabbath...while the Pharisee's were condemning them for doing good on the Sabbath. He's talking about people doing the will of God.... doing good, loving others. They are filled with the Holy Spirit and are doing good. Then Jesus says.... anyone that speaks against Himself, Jesus, will be forgiven. But, to speak against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. When we speak against those who are doing good. . . . . .we may be speaking against the Holy Spirit who is in them doing the good through them. I just realized what Jesus was talking about here!!! How many times do we hear one denomination speaking against another denomination because they are "doing good" but perhaps not following some customer, ritual, or "doctrine" that the first church holds so dear.... yet the second church is doing good, healing the sick, feeding the poor, loving the unlovable...doing what Jesus did? Could this be what this passage really means? That when the Pharisee's were speaking against those who were doing good on the Sabbath, they were actually speaking against the Holy Spirit and would not be forgiven? If so, we had better think before we speak against anyone who is doing good.
