Title: Week 10 — Divorce on Demand?
Series: The King’s Speech
Our passage this week is only two verses (Matthew 5:31, 32), but it contains quite a bit of context to truly grasp. Last week we saw that love shows no hostility and that love is not predatory. Sandwiched in between Jesus’ teaching on lust and complete integrity (truth-telling) is his thoughts on love in marriage. So we want to explore the words of Christ on this idea of marital fidelity as kingdom participants. What is our Lord and King actually calling us to in this passage?
