Bible Study: A Model Marriage | Mark 10:2-16 | Teaching About Divorce

Trinity Lutheran Sheboygan

Our Savior who in His incarnation became one flesh with us, so that through His death and resurrection He might make us one flesh with Him. On the cross He spoke His marriage vow to us, His sacred “I will,” as He laid down His life for His bride. Just as a tree broke that first marriage in Paradise, so a tree has restored marriage – our relationship with God. In Christ, we are washed clean and made holy in the forgiveness of our sins.

And this vow our Savior did not only make once – once for all on the cross, and then once for me and you in Holy Baptism. Not only then, but He also renews His vows to us His vows of forgiveness, life, and salvation – every time we gather here at His altar, taking us in His arms in the Absolution, and giving us His body and blood in His Supper. Here delighting in us, as He makes us His own.

Never tiring of receiving us. Never tiring of forgiving us. We brides who come as black as sin and leave as white as snow. For the Son came from the Father and holds fast to His wife, His Church.
