What hope is there for divorced people?

Morning: Psalm 119:97-120; Isaiah 59:15b-21; 2 Tim 1:15-2:13

Evening: Psalms 81, 82; Mark 10:1-16

Jesus does not condemn divorced people. He does acknowledge the brokenness divorce causes. ‘Adultery’ is an ugly word ... Jesus addressed it to men who used divorce laws to serve their own selfish whims. ‘Adultery’ is an especially ugly word when applied to the innocent party. Whatever the reasons for it, divorce creates enormous hurt. We must be accountable for the hurt we cause, and, where possible, make reparation. Beyond this necessary accountability, Jesus implies that all who choose now to live in God’s ways simply and innocently, like children, experience fullness of life and redemption.
