The Teachings of Jesus on Divorce and Remarriage - A Critical Study of Matthew 19:9

Man did not live one day on the Earth apart from the divine arrangement of the family. The home is the glue designed to provide cohesion to human culture.

More than that, marriage was ultimately intended to create the ideal domestic environment in which the Gospel of Christ would have its best opportunity for success.

How very important it is, then, that the integrity of the home be defended and preserved.

In a time when marriage had deteriorated, even among the people of God (the Hebrews), Jesus unequivocally declared his intention to restore the divine marriage arrangement to its original design. Anyone who takes marriage lightly flaunts the authority of the Son of God.

One of the key Bible texts dealing with the theme of marriage and divorce is Matthew 19:9 (with a companion text, Matt. 5:32). In The Teaching of Jesus Christ on Divorce and Remarriage, Wayne Jackson discusses these two texts with meticulous detail.

Families need to study this material with sincerity and urgency. With so many radical theories abounding these days on this vital topic (even among Christians), this resource can provide a rich resource of instruction.
