Divorce: The Danger of Giving Up

From Matthew 5:31-32 Jesus teaches about divorce.

The religious leaders had declared that the letter of the law was that if you wanted to divorce your wife for whatever reason, all you had to do was to give her a written notice of divorce.

I have read commentators that have said that during Jesus’ time, you could divorce your wife simply for not liking the way she cooked.

You could simply write a notice of divorce and move on to the next wife, and so on.

Think about how messed up that is; the wife had no choice.

 

But Jesus said that everyone who divorces his wife except in a case of sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery.
