Evening: Psalm 106:19-48; Zechariah 10:1-12; Matthew 19:1-12
Jesus teaches on human sexuality. Marriage is not to be undertaken lightly. Jesus is angry with men using divorce for their convenience, without regard for the suffering it causes women. He does not recommend celibacy, although some may be called to it. When Jesus says married couples are “no longer two, but one flesh,” he treats sexual intimacy as a holy expression of our humanity. There is no place for shame in sex, but when we ignore how life-changing marriage or sex are, trouble will not be far behind. A casual approach to sex disrupts our natural human equilibrium.
