Sermon Tone Analysis

Ver.1-10 Marriage and Divorce

Ver.4-6

Rabbi Shammai - only for sexual immorality

Rabbi Hillel - for any reason, even for burning his toast

Deuteronomy 24:1

“1 “When a man takes a wife and marries her, and it happens that she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some uncleanness in her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house,”

Genesis 1:27

“27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”

Genesis 2:24

“24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.”

Matthew 5:31-32

“31 “Furthermore it has been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’

32 But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.”

Ver.7-10

Mark 10:10-12

“10 In the house His disciples also asked Him again about the same matter.

11 So He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her. 12 And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.””

Other ways of remarriage

Romans 7:1-3

“1 Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives? 2 For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives.

But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband.

3 So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man.”

1 Corinthians 7:10-16

“10 Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her husband.

11 But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband.

And a husband is not to divorce his wife.

12 But to the rest I, not the Lord, say: If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is willing to live with him, let him not divorce her. 13 And a woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is willing to live with her, let her not divorce him.

14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.

15 But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases.

But God has called us to peace.

16 For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband?

Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?”

Ver.11-12 Jesus Teaches on Celibacy

1 Corinthians 7:7-9

“7 For I wish that all men were even as I myself.

But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that.

8 But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am; 9 but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry.

For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.”

Ver.13-15 Jesus Blesses Little Children

Mark 10:16

“16 And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them.”

Ver.16-22 Jesus Counsels the Rich Young Ruler

Mark 10:17

“17 Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?””

Mark 10:21

“21 Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.””

With God All Things Are Possible

The Laodicean Church

Revelation 3:17

“17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—”

1 Timothy 6:6-8

“6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain.

7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.”

1 Timothy 6:9-10

“9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.

10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”
