Yet when the world fell into sin, the harmony that brought men and women into marriage was disrupted, and the Law of Moses addressed it through divorce proceedings.
When Jesus, the Word Made Flesh, came, He reminded us of the order that God set from the beginning, that men and women would come together as One Flesh to reflect God's image in our world. From the marital union comes children, who also reflect God.
Jesus did not simply command us to avoid divorce, but came to identity Himself with our sufferings and redeem them so we could be restored back to right relationship with God and one another.
So we come humbly to God in our neediness and brokenness with faith that He has the power to bring us alive in Him, that the world may know our God.
