My Words Reveal What My Heart Conceals

1. Jesus Draws a Line

Matthew 12:30–32 NIV 30 “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does
not gather with me scatters. 31 And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be
forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 Anyone who speaks
a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the
Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

2. Jesus Exposes the Heart

Matthew 12:33–35 NIV 33 “Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree
bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. 34 You brood of vipers,
how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is
full of. 35 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil
man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.

3. Jesus Will Weigh Every Word

Matthew 12:36–37 NIV 36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the
day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. 37 For by your words you will
be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”
