Lesson 2451

(Lesson 2451)(08-31-18) Mark 10:1-9
    “And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again. And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”
    Today’s lesson relates how marriage is to be taken among Christian people. Jesus said that when a man and woman are married, they are no longer two separate people, but rather they actually become as one flesh, or one person.
    Sadly, today, hardly anyone pays any attention to what Jesus said in this lesson. Divorce rates are higher than they’ve ever been. ~
