THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS II

“And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail. Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced from her husband commits adultery.”

Luke 16:17-18

1. There will be changes now that the Lord Jesus had come.

a. He will be bringing in the New Covenant (Luke 22:20).
b. This would eclipse and replace the Covenant established at Mt. Sinai (Exodus 24).

2. However, the Law continued to be inviolable.

a. The Law and the Prophets were given by God Himself.
b. Therefore, He will uphold it.
c. No word would pass away.
d. It would be easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for the Scriptures to fail.
e. The Scriptures must continue to be well-regarded and obeyed.

3. The Marriage Covenant

a. Moses did make provision for a marriage to end in divorce.
b. But this would be because of extreme conditions.
c. The sad reality was that some were abusing the law Moses gave. (This was recorded in Deuteronomy 24:1-4).
d. Women were being divorced for trivial reasons!
i. If they burned the breakfast of the husband.
ii. If she raised her voice too loudly.
iii. If she quarrelled with her mother-in-law etc.

4. The Lord Jesus sounded a severe word of warning to all who broke the Law wantonly.

a. If a man divorces his wife to get married to another person, he would be guilty of the sin of adultery.
b. The divorced woman who marries another would also be adjudged guilty of the same sin.
c. The Lord’s teaching here was directed at those who were taking liberty with the law!
