Jesus' perspective on divorce

Omar Soto
(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The sermon discusses the need for integrity and respect in marriages, particularly in the context of infidelity. The speaker emphasizes the importance of protecting one's marriage through mutual respect and love, and the dangers of pride and fantasies. The speaker also addresses the need for modesty and discretion in dress, particularly in a church context, to take care of one another. The speaker acknowledges the high divorce rates among Christians and emphasizes the importance of the church in providing pastoral counseling and support to strengthen and heal marriages.

The sermon focuses on living in accordance with the teachings of Jesus, specifically in regards to marriage and being true to one's word. Divorce rates within the church are discussed, and the importance of maintaining strong, healthy marriages is emphasized. The need for a strong, robust Church that lives in accordance with absolute truth is also highlighted. The importance of being careful with one's words and promises is stressed, and the need for balancing church commitments with personal/family time is discussed. Overall, the message encourages living a balanced life in accordance with Jesus' teachings.


The speaker believes that the Church should promote balance in families and not just focus on spiritual matters. Families should spend time together, go out to eat, and have a balanced life. The speaker encourages couples to talk to each other honestly and take care of each other. They also believe that God can heal difficult marital experiences and can be a spouse to those who are alone. The speaker asks God to bless marriages and families and grant them restful sleep.


Last Wednesday we were talking about how to control anger, which is one of the principles of the Kingdom of God, one of those things that Jesus wants us as his disciples to have, things through which we can conform to the desire of the heart of God, is that we can be people who can control those feelings of anger in our hearts, and know how to reconcile differences with other people, both with those who are closest to us and with our relatives as well as with anyone else around us. .


And I obviously thought, or one of the things that I had mentioned, is that the idea of this message when Jesus is communicating it, remember, I rather do this to refresh our memory, that what Jesus is doing here is, yes he is speaking to a whole crowd but rather he is speaking to his disciples, he wants the disciples to understand what it means to live for him and for him, that it is not a matter that we want to mold Jesus to our needs, if not that we have to conform to Him and to His heart's desire. It is not that He has to function according to our patterns but rather that we have to function according to the patterns that He has for us his disciples.
