Jesus on Divorce – the delicate dilemma
Matthew 5:31-32
July 15, 2018
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.
The purpose: or why divorce?
The word that is translated here “divorce” is the Greek word apoluo”,
“luo” = to loose;
“apo” = away from.
It is the same word that is used for being set free from bonds.... the idea of a p________ ...
Moses laid down three basic principles:
What the Pharisees taught:
Genesis 2:24: the Biblical idea for marriage:
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh!
Cleave= to glue, or connect, to literally “grow into”…. (Think, grafting a tree)
why did God allow Moses to make the idea of divorce available??
There was utter chaos -- these rules brought at least a semblance of order... but in no way was he advocating divorce
