\u201cJesus replied, \u201cMoses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had originally intended. And I tell you this, whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery\u2014unless his wife has been unfaithful.\u201d Matt.19:8-9<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Today we will be dealing with the follow up question to the question on marriage<\/strong>. \u201cJesus\u2019 disciples then said to him, \u201cIf this is the case, it is better not to marry!\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cNot everyone can accept this statement,\u201d Jesus said. \u201cOnly those whom God helps<\/em>\u201d Matt.19:10-11<\/a>. Until you see that it is better not to marry, you are not fit to marry. What I mean is this; until you see marriage as serious as it is, you are not fit to marry. Why? It is because if you don\u2019t, you are going to cause problems for your spouse. Of course Jesus now said to them, some can take it, but some cannot. But the key thing is this, once you are married, you are married! Someone says but I received the Word that God will do a new thing in my life, so I want a new wife. My response? God will refurbish the one you have and make her as good as new. And the Church say \u2013 Amen! Know this; divorce was not what God had originally intended.<\/em><\/p>\n

The question on resurrection<\/strong>. \u201cTeacher, Moses said, \u2018If a man dies without children, his brother should marry the widow and have a child who will carry on the brother\u2019s name.\u2019 Well, suppose there were seven brothers. The oldest one married and then died without children, so his brother married the widow\u2026 This continued with all seven of them.\u00a0<\/strong>So tell us, whose wife will she be in the resurrection? For all seven were married to her.\u201d<\/em> Matt.22:24-26 & 28<\/a>. I think about this question and if I were the third born I will definitely not marry this same girl who the first and second have married and died. I would simply refuse. A lot of these questions were just trick questions. They were trying to trap Jesus. If I were Jesus I will just say that scenario is impossible because the seventh born will not marry the girl. But Jesus said to them, \u201cYour mistake is that you don\u2019t know the Scriptures, and you don\u2019t know the power of God.\u00a0<\/strong>For when the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage\u2026\u201d <\/em>Matt.22:29-30<\/a>. Jesus was basically saying to them, \u2018listen guys you are just totally ignorant. You don\u2019t even know the Scriptures; neither do you know the power of God. In heaven there is no marriage\u2019. Married or single, say this out loud to yourself – there is no marriage in heaven<\/em>. So stop killing yourself over marriage, there\u2019s no marriage in heaven. Your time here on earth is short compared to the time we will spend in eternity with Jesus and guess what, there is no marriage there because there is neither male nor female in heaven. Our earthly forms permit marriage. But you are just in a male or female body. When this body goes, the image is the same\u2013 His image. Jesus silenced the Sadducees.<\/p>\n
