Divorce is one of the most painful parts of life. Daniel Akin says; “Few experiences in life bring more pain, sorrow, grief, and heartache than divorce and the fracturing of marriage and families.” As Christians, we can add to people’s pain in the way we respond to divorce. Christians should be careful, thoughtful, and loving in the way we approach the topic of divorce. Ultimately, we want to be compassionate, caring, empathetic and full of grace in the way we express ourselves. The first step is approaching divorce is to understand what Jesus says about divorce. This takes care and effort on our part.
I will answer three big questions regarding divorce this Sunday in our Sermon on the Mount series. First, “What is the root of God’s allowance for divorce?” Second, “Are there any acceptable, biblical grounds for divorce?” Third, “Can a divorced person get remarried?” Answering these questions will help us know what the Bible says about divorce. What God says about divorce.
Let us join together to seek God this Sunday. To sing, pray, hear from God, and enjoy one another!
“But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.” Matthew 5:32
