The Marriage Covenant
đź“– Scripture: Matthew 5:31-32
✨ Key themes: Marriage
“Beware of allowing anything to soften the harsh words of Jesus." –Oswald Chambers
In this message, we continue our study through Matthew 5:31–32, where Jesus addresses divorce, marriage, and the intentions of the heart. Last week, we looked at His teaching on murder and adultery—showing us that sin doesn’t begin with outward actions, but deep within our hearts. Now, Jesus speaks on divorce, confronting the false teachings of the Pharisees and calling us back to God’s original design for marriage.
We’ll explore:
đź“– How the Law of Moses addressed divorce in Deuteronomy 24
📖 The schools of thought in Jesus’ day and how they distorted God’s Word
đź“– Why Jesus declared that marriage is a sacred covenant reflecting Christ and His Church
đź“– What divorce and remarriage mean in the light of Scripture
📖 How Jesus dealt with the woman at the well and the woman caught in adultery—reminding us that our past does not define us.
