Mark 10:1-12, Teaching about Divorce

Narrative Lectionary Key Verse for Today

Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.
— Mark 10:9

NL Daily Devotion for Friday, February 28, 2020

by R. Fergus Moir, Clergy Stuff


Relationships are sacred. Deep and meaningful relationships between people are not just nice, they’re essential to our humanity. God is a relationship (the Trinity) and created us in God’s image, after all. So no matter what the relationship, it’s not something to be held cheaply, as the Pharisees in this passage seem to be doing.

Navigating any relationship takes work. It takes vulnerability, sacrifice, and a deep desire for the other’s well-being. Such relationships are truly gifts from God, and God is right in there with us.

Gracious God, thank you for the many beautiful relationships in my life. Amen.
