Some Pharisees wanted to test Jesus. So they came up to him and asked if it was right for a man to divorce his wife. Jesus asked them, "What does the Law of Moses say about that?" They answered, "Moses allows a man to write out divorce papers and send his wife away." Jesus replied, "Moses gave you this law because you are so heartless. But in the beginning God made a man and a woman. That's why a man leaves his father and mother and gets married. He becomes like one person with his wife. Then they are no longer two people, but one."
Mark 10:2-8
It is a great mystery that two people, a man and a woman can marry and become one person! How does such a thing happen and perhaps even more amazing is why?
God could have enabled people to multiply on the earth without marriage. But He chose the spiritual, physical and emotional intimacy of marriage as the means to spread the joy of living on planet earth to the generations that will follow.
When you become a Jesus Follower He promises that you will be filled with the Holy Spirit. The Bible even says that you will have the Mind of Christ. “Christ in you” will be your hope of Glory.
When a man and a woman become one person it is a picture of what happens to those who become One with Jesus. When you are united with Christ loneliness is a thing of the past and new life results from your union with Him!
God’s Art Gallery has many paintings that He created to show us about Life and Eternity. The rest of your life here on earth gives you a daily opportunity to learn from God’s Masterful depictions of everything there is!
