Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Children and Families In The Bible

Matthew 19

1 When Jesus had finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went into the region of Judea to the other side of the Jordan. 2 Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.

3 Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?”

4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

7 “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”

8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”

10 The disciples said to him, “If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry.”

11 Jesus replied, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. 12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”

Oh LORD, Our God,
How Wonderful,
How Majestic,
How Excellent is Your Most Holy Name!
Our Hearts overflow with praise and Wonder at Your Glory!
You Alone Are Worthy of Our Love and Adoration,
You Alone Are Worthy Of Worship,
For You Alone Are The Omnipotent,
Eternal and Omniscient,
Everlasting and Almighty God!

Abba, Father,
Thank You For Designing Us The way You Did.
Thank You For Creating Men and Women,
And The Institution of Marriage.
Thank You for protecting women with this Institution,
So that, at least in the Judeo-Christian Tradition,
A Man can't just throw a woman out for any reason.
Thank You for providing structure for the family
For Making Marriage Sacred,
And For Making the Family the Basic unit of Civilization.

We pray for the Repentance, Restoration, and Renewal of Our Beloved Nation.
We Pray For Families,
that They will prosper and Grow in You
We Pray For Children,
That They will Be Raised to Love You

We Pray For The Swift and Sure Coming of Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Establish His Kingdom,
and Make All Things Right.

Even Jesus Himself said that this was a difficult teaching on Divorce. Still, we must remember that, in the Ancient World, women were considered property rather than an equal partner in Marriage. And "Easy Divorce" made it worse for women, rather than better. This miserable state of servitude still exists in the Middle East, and a woman can be "divorced" for any reason. There are even "temporary marriages" for the convenience of the man, and the discarded wife has no recourse except to become a prostitute.
The teaching of Jesus on this subject elevates the status of women in Marriage as a Holy Estate, ordained by God since the Beginning, between One Man and One Woman, and Inviolate. Divorce is very serious, and only in extreme situations. Yet, Jesus says also that this is a hard teaching, and only for those who are called of God. Even the Disciples have a hard time with it. The idea of a woman being an equal partner in a marriage, who can't be "Thrown out with yesterday's trash" was completely alien to their culture, and was part of the birth of what we call "Western Civilization".

Come and Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem, For Families and FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

Joining in prayer for all of God’s people and for the protection of marriage, which stabilizes society. Protect all those who are persecuted for standing up for marriage - especially those in England, who are hounded for taking a stand, as well as those in our country. Amen
