Hello and welcome to another episode of Agape Fellowship where we study the word of God verse by verse. Jesus is teaching the laws given by Moses with authority and clarity. In the earlier episodes, we understood God’s stand on anger, conflicts and adultery. We saw how God’s yardsticks are different from the carnal ones. Let’s continue to study from Verse 31.  

Marriage is an earthly representation of the undying and sacrificial love Christ Jesus has for His bride, the Church. Though God hates divorce, He allowed it by His permissive will so we avoid hatred and murder, and keep the peace. This is a reminder to not take marriage vows lightly. Jesus also teaches us how to love our neighbours and wants us to go the extra mile to help others out. God will be our defender when wronged. Do join us in the next episode as we continue to learn.
