Mark 10:11
This was the kind of teaching that we need. Rather than taking the experiences of man into more account, Jesus upheld the dictates of Almighty God. No matter what importunity might have befallen a marriage, to break it up is still an act against the designs of our Sovereign Creator. Indeed, Jesus’ teaching on this shows clearly that the institution of marriage is only the outward trappings of the inward reality. When the two become one by the physical consummation, that is marriage. The rest is the recognition of its holy status as the design of God. To break that physical union, and to be joined to another is to confuse and trespass against his purposes.
Heavenly Father, you have given us a perfect pattern. You have blessed us with your grand designs. You have instructed us to do your truth. What a mercy this is! Thank you for your great goodness to us! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
