Last week we shared Charlotte Mason’s poem about Luke 12:1–4 and noted that she had previously written about that passage in her 1898 meditation entitled “Simplicity.” In the Gospel of Luke, the subsequent passage speaks of the unforgivable sin (verse 10). Charlotte Mason also examined this in her piece on “Simplicity”:

If we consider that our Lord’s discourse is not a series of disconnected utterances, but a closely reasoned-out and amply illustrated argument, based upon the thesis, “When thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light,” we are better able to follow the thought in this most anxious passage.

Today we share Charlotte Mason’s poem about Luke 12:5–12 in which she examines “this most anxious passage” once again. You can read or hear it here.
