MARK 101-12 Jesus then left that place and
went into the region of Judea and across the
Jordan. Again crowds of people came to him, and
as was his custom, he taught them. 2 Some
Pharisees came and tested him by asking, "Is it
lawful for a man to divorce his wife? 3 "What
did Moses command you?" he replied. 4 They said,
"Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of
divorce and send her away. 5 "It was because
your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this
law," Jesus replied.

MARK 101-12 6 "But at the beginning of
creation God made them male and female.' 7 For
this reason a man will leave his father and
mother and be united to his wife, 8 and the two
will become one flesh.' So they are no longer
two, but one. 9 Therefore what God has joined
together, let man not separate. 10 When they
were in the house again, the disciples asked
Jesus about this. 11 He answered, "Anyone who
divorces his wife and marries another woman
commits adultery against her. 12 And if she
divorces her husband and marries another man, she
commits adultery."

MARK 101-5 Jesus then left that place and
went into the region of Judea and across the
Jordan. Again crowds of people came to him, and
as was his custom, he taught them. 2 Some
Pharisees came and tested him by asking, "Is it
lawful for a man to divorce his wife? 3 "What
did Moses command you?" he replied. 4 They said,
"Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of
divorce and send her away. 5 "It was because
your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this
law," Jesus replied.

HARDENED HEART? The opposite would be a heart
that is softened, mellowed, gentle, and open.
Pharaoh hardened his heart (Exodus
815ff), He determnined to handle it himself in
his own way. He determined to respond in the
natural inclination of his flesh, to do what he
felt like doing in the situation, to ignore
God. When you determine that you are not going
to pay attention to what God reveals about a
situation and handle it yourself, thereby
withdrawing from significant others and God you
are hardening your heart!
8
SOFTENED HEART? A heart is always soft, when
it recognizes that its ability to handle a
situation, should come from a demonstrated
reliance upon the wisdom, power, and love of God.
This is always what keeps the heart tender, and
reasonable an open recognition and practice
before all, of the need and design, that what it
takes, is a reliance upon the wisdom and love of
God, and an obedience to Him for success in
handling things. This keeps the heart tender
and soft.

JOHN 1720-26 "My prayer is not for them
alone. I pray also for those who will believe in
me through their message, 21 that all of them
may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I
am in you. May they also be in us so that the
world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I
have given them the glory that you gave me, that
they may be one as we are one 23 I in them and
you in me. May they be brought to complete unity
to let the world know that you sent me and have
loved them even as you have loved me.

I JOHN 318 Dear children, let us not love with
words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
JOHN 4 23 Yet a time is coming and has now
come when the true worshipers will worship the
Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind
of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit,
and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in
truth. EPHESIANS 415 Instead, speaking the
truth in love, we will in all things grow up into
him who is the Head, that is, Christ. JAMES
122 Do not merely listen to the word, and so
deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
