Marriage is God's idea showing us new life in Christ (Gen 2:24, Matt 19:3-12, Eph 5:21-33)

 Matthew 19

A) Marriage is God's idea between man and woman, together like Christ and the church

1-2) Galilee to Judea (about 6 hour walk), large crowd followed healed them there

3) Pharisees test him, "is divorce lawful for every reason?"

4-6) "Creator made them male and female, marriage makes them one flesh, what God joined let no one separate" Gen 2:24, Eph 5:31-32 

 - God joined us together in Christ (Eph 5:21-33)

7-9) Moses command about divorce was permitted because of hard hearts, anyone who divorces/remarries commits adultery. (Deuteronomy 24:1-4, Matthew 5:31) 

  • Matthew 5:29-30) Cut out anything that causes sin in your life
  • Matthew 5:31-33) divorce produces victims of adultery, don't break your oath fulfill to the Lord the vows you made
  • Matthew 5:34-37) Don’t make conditional vows, simply say YES or NO
10-12) Marriage vow not acceptable? live like a eunuch for the kingdom of heaven, but if you can accept the vow.
