In a culture where women were treated as property and a man could afford to “use and dump”, Jesus’ teaching on marriage aimed at restoring the dignity of women. However, to this day, many struggle to accept Jesus’ teaching on the indissolubility of marriage. For Jesus, if you do not intend to remain married for the rest of your life, don’t marry at all.

Unforgiveness is highly poisonous. Carrying hate and bitterness in your mind affects your ability to think properly; it even affects your physical and mental health. Unforgiveness is like holding hot coals in your bare hands hoping to throw them at your offenders.

One may ask, “Why are there so many steps? If someone sins against us, why don’t we move on? Through these steps, Jesus wants us to make an effort to win back one who has sinned against us. Give them an opportunity to repent before surrendering them to God. Remember: There is more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than the ninety-nine who do not need repentance.
