Summary
The conversation about marriage and divorce continues—but now Jesus brings the issue deeper than legal permission and into the condition of the human heart. The Pharisees assume that because Moses allowed divorce, God must have commanded it. But Jesus makes an important distinction: permission is not the same as design. Divorce was never God’s ideal—it was a provision made because of the hardness of human hearts. In this episode, Pastor Mike continues through Matthew 19, helping us understand the difference between what God permits and what He originally intended.
