Saint K delves into the teachings of Jesus regarding marriage and divorce, emphasizing how a high view of marriage can empower women rather than trap them. The message explores the Pharisees' questioning of Jesus and what it teaches about the potential danger in dishonest questioning vs asking questions. Saint K highlights the significance of grace and reconciliation in relationships, particularly in the face of infidelity and the hardness of heart that can lead to divorce. Surprisingly, the disciples have a deep misunderstanding of marriage and the historical appeal of Christianity to women in Roman culture challenges our modern sensibilities. The message also highlights Paul's authority in addressing marriage and divorce issues within the early church.
