Let's jump into this. If you have a Bible, I want you to turn to Matthew chapter 19.

This is a text we're going to talk about tonight.

This text contains within it a shift and a revolution in the realm of singleness,

unlike any teaching ever given in history. That's a bit of a meta claim.

Let's have a look at this. This is Jesus actually talking about the nature of divorce,

but then he takes divorce and inserts a teaching about singleness on it.

That the heroes of his time just would have struggled to comprehend. Let's have a look at God's word.

Jesus replies, Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard,

but it was not this way from the beginning. I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife,

except for sexual immorality and marries another woman commits adultery,

the disciple said to him, if this is a situation between a husband and a wife,

it's better not to marry. And then Jesus doesn't say, no, no, no, no, no, sorry,

I must have explained that wrong. Jesus says, not everyone can accept this word,

but only to those who it has been given. For there are unix who were born that way,

there are unix who have been made unix by others, and there are those who choose to live like

unix for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. And the one who can accept this should accept this.

So they're in a debate about divorce, and Jesus has said, hey, did I tell you about unix?

Like what's the unique, it's about divorce, it goes, let me talk to you about the unix.

Jesus has a whole teaching on here, and he actually makes to claim that if you can live like a

unix for the kingdom of heaven, you should. Can you accept this? This is God's word.

Now, hearing a teaching about divorce, and then unix and in a culture like ours,

it's just how do you put these things together? But you are the generation in American history
