We are one interconnected whole

Morning: Psalm 106:1-18; Joel 3:1-2, 9-17; I Peter 1:1-12
Evening: Psalm 106:19-48; Zechariah 10:1-12; Matthew 19:1-12

Carl Jung, famous 20th century pioneer of psychology, taught of the close connection between sexuality and spirituality … We individual human beings are not separate compartments but one, interconnected whole – body, mind and spirit. Jesus’s teaching was similar.  His teaching about human sexuality – today, it is on divorce and adultery – has often been seen as purely moralistic. Jesus’ concern, though, was to help us understand that our decisions about how we use our body, or how we interact with the body of another, also deeply affect our own and the other’s mental and spiritual life.
