Jan 27, 2025 Reading and Reflection from the Gospel

In this Gospel passage, the scribes accuse Jesus of driving out demons by the power of Beelzebul. Jesus responds with a profound truth, revealing the illogical nature of their claim: “How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.” He emphasizes that His power comes from God, not evil, and warns about the sin of blaspheming against the Holy Spirit—a sin that cannot be forgiven because it rejects the very source of forgiveness
