Divorce and Remarriage (Matthew 5:31-32 - Sermon on the Mount Series)
Episode description
I know many of our lives have been affected by divorce, and it is a sensitive subject. There is much hurt and pain in many of your lives still by divorce, so my desire isn't to cause you any more hurt—so please know my heart here before we start to dig in. I always want to be biblical, and the question that we're answering in all these episodes is to be, "What does God's Word say?"
Our text today is Matthew 5:31-31: and Jesus continues in it with His - "it was said" statements but "I say to you":
31 "It was also said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.' 32 But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
From the beginning—from the creation of Adam and Eve in the garden— God's design was that marriage was to be a permanent covenant.
