Mark 10:1-12 // The Intention for Marriage (Preached on January 4, 2026)

The closer Jesus gets to Jerusalem, the more specific His claims about discipleship become. Certain Pharisees approach Jesus, posing a question about divorce. They are not sincere, but testing Him. Jesus takes the opportunity to remind them of God's intention for marriage. Jesus' abbreviated teaching on marriage, divorce, and remarriage is set against the theological backdrop of the Old Testament and the historical context of First Century Judaism.
