01.27.2015 New Testament: Matt 19.10–12

To read the Bible in a year, read Matthew 19.1–15 on January 27, In the year of our Lord 2015

By Don Ruhl

When Jesus declared His stance on marriage, divorce, and remarriage, it shocked the disciples,

His disciples said to Him, “If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry.” 

They thought why open yourself up to possible condemnation, but Jesus responded that some, most people, need marriage, and some do not,

But He said to them, “All cannot accept this saying, but only those to whom it has been given: For there are eunuchs who were born thus from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He who is able to accept it, let him accept it” (Matthew 19.10–12). 

Each has it advantage, and whichever one you find yourself in, make the most of it to serve the Lord and those around you.
