Can you imagine dealing with the fact that every day you would meet people who would seek to trip you up, or try to embarrass you? Essentially, you would be tested every day of your life., Well, that was the life that Jesus led every single day, as He was constantly being tested by a group of men desperate to make Jesus look bad in the eyes of His followers. These men were the Pharisees. And on this day, they had the perfect controversial question to try to humiliate Jesus with, or to use a modern concept, to cancel Him. And that was the issue of divorce, specifically the question of on what grounds could a man legitimately divorce his wife? This was a dangerous question for Jesus to answer because He could offend so many people. What is Jesus to do? Turn to Matthew 19 to follow along.
