THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Part 49: Divorce and Remarriage |
|
|
The process of forming a new, blended family is
challenging. This was not part of God’s original plan for mankind
and came about as a result of sin. Trying to build a lifelong
commitment based purely on physical attraction won’t work because
there is no spiritual foundation. Why marry without seeking God’s
will in your life? Is it any surprise that most marriages end in
divorce? Jesus said the only valid reason for divorce is if your
spouse has been unfaithful. This shocked the disciples who held the
Jewish belief that a man could divorce his wife for any reason. They
said, if that was the case, it was better not to get married in the
first place. Jesus stated some men are born impotent, whereas others
have suffered from the cruelty of man that renders them incapable of
producing children, and some are content to embrace celibacy in
order to fully serve the Lord. But divorce is just like any other
sin, and if you repent, should it forever relegate you to the
sidelines in terms of ministry? |
