OVERCOMING EVIL
Accusing a person falsely is a grave sin against truth. It can cause serious damage to the reputation of a person against whom false accusations are made. If innocent people are punished or sent to jail for a crime he/she has not committed, somebody has spoken against the truth. We come across such an issue in the gospel of today. Two grave accusations are made against Jesus that are totally untrue. The first is spreading the false news that Jesus has gone out of his mind. Hearing this the family people are also worried and they go looking for him to bring him home. The second accusation comes from the Scribes who say that Jesus is possessed by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons. Jesus vehemently disproves the second accusation and calls it a grave or eternal sin against the Holy Spirit for which there is no forgiveness. God’s Spirit dwells in Jesus and he uses it in the powerful works he does including the casting out of demons. First Reading speaks about the sin of the first parents. In the Second Reading Paul understands suffering from the point view of faith and not reason.
