If we want, we always find reasons for unbelief. The Jewish leaders in the time of Jesus could not deny His miracles but accused Him of using Satan's power to perform them. That is the sin against the Holy Spirit. When we continually deny the work of the Spirit or appropriate that work to Satan, there is no one else to work on our hearts to produce repentance. In this story, Jesus demonstrates their faulty thinking in four different ways, then gives them two more reasons to believe in Him. The good news is that Jesus is stronger than the "strong man" who represents Satan.
