"It was also said: Whoever divorces his wife must give her a divorce certificate," Matthew 5:31.
Remember the good old days when a man could just trade one wife in for a better model on a whim and little paperwork? When a real man was king of the castle? Well. That was the kingdom of hard-hearted men. Marriage in the kingdom of God recognizes both the man and the woman, image of God, human beings worthy of respect and honor. And their word to each other is their bond. And if they say they will marry each other, they will be true to each other. Period. New covenant. So we repent.
We meet with a brother or sister today awed by the substance of the sky kingdom. And together we give thanks to God for a real kingdom that changes us all.
