Mark 10:10
The disciples were concerned that they hadn’t completely understood Jesus’ position on marriage. It just couldn’t be that straightforward. There had to be more to it. But, there wasn’t. Jesus was upholding the Word of God, not allowing sinful human experience to modify it. The disciples simply could not understand how a man could be expected to stay married to the same woman for life without some sort of contingency plan. Though Jesus allowed for divorce in the case of adultery, he made it clear that God hates divorce.
Heavenly Father, thank you for Jesus! Your Word is a blessing to our lives. Though we often have difficulty with it, your Word causes us to grow. It is the way that you work for our good in our lives. You are kind to give it to us. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
