       Now, Jesus also notes that God’s ‘name’ is holy. I’m sure as we’ve read through the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments alike, we have noticed over time that many names are used for God. Now, these names provide revelation of the person of God and are used describe his character. The names can also show God’s purposes. We see how important the names of God are when we read Exodus 20:7, when God told the Israelites then and tells us today that, ““You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.” The Lord Jesus Christ would reiterate this during his day, for those who saw his miracles, and still rejected God, when he said: ““Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin” (Mark 3:28, 29, ESV). But we know and believe the unpardonable sin to only be unpardonable for those who committed it during Jesus’ earthly ministry because they saw the great miracles that he did.
