Travelling to Jerusalem, Jesus is pushed by enemies into a debate on divorce. The wrong answer could be disastrous for his campaign. But Jesus won’t be controlled by these hypocrites who claim to keep God’s laws but actually manipulate them to satisfy personal desires. He brilliantly, and firmly, reasserts God’s design for the marriage of one man and one woman which lasts through life. Later, he then drives the lesson home to his disciples so that they won’t be polluted by the moral laxity in their society. By the rebirth he brings, Jesus transforms lives to overcome sin not pander to it. His kingdom has higher standards.
