Often Jesus would be tempted by the pharisees with difficult questions concerning their culture or the legal system. The question they propose in this passage is one that is still asked today....Is divorce allowable? This is an important question for us to ask because our marriages stand as a beautiful picture of Christ and the church. Often the world views Christianity in light of how their Christian neighbors live their everyday life. Jesus answers their question very clearly. He is not ambiguous on the matter. His words help us understand how God view marriage and divorce.
