Mark 10:10

Mark 10:10 says, And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.  After Jesus's teachings about divorce, when He was in the house, His disciples again asked Jesus about divorce, and He again told them the same thing.  Verse eleven adds, And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.  Verse twelve continues, And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. No matter how many times we may question God, His law is not going to change.  Any man or woman who divorced his or her spouse and married someone else was guilty of adultery.  We are given some grounds elsewhere in the Bible where divorce could be justified, but not where it must be.  Of course, if a marriage is not based on a man and a woman putting their faith and obedience in Jesus Christ as the center of the marriage, then there is something wrong to start with.  We may not like what the Bible says about marriage and divorce, but that does not change it.  Verse thirteen states, And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.  Some young children were then brought to Jesus, and the disciples rebuked those who brought them.  Verse fourteen adds, But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. They did not consult Jesus before doing so.  As Christians, we sometimes get in trouble because we act without first consulting God.  When it comes to children, we should want them in church learning about Jesus.  We need to bring our children to Jesus.  Verse fifteen declares, Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.  Jesus said that the kingdom of God was made up of such as the little children.  This would be true I believe for two reasons.  First, we are to come to Jesus with a childlike faith, totally accepting Him without question.  Second, we are born again when we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord, thereby becoming as little children spiritually.  Verse sixteen adds, And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.  Jesus then took them into His arms and blessed them.
