Two Shall Become One King's Cross Church

This week brings us to a topic that evokes a lot of pain in our society: marriage and divorce. Jesus did not mince words here, but his goal was to give hope, not to crush. In general, he was so compassionate, the religious leaders wanted to prove he was soft on sin. So they asked him about divorce - thinking he would either alienate the 'sinners' who were flocking to him, or that he would jettison God's commands. He does neither. But how is this good news for us? I know this is a very sensitive topic for many. I myself am a child of divorce. Let's talk about God's design for our joy, whether married, single or divorced: the “Two Shall Become One” (Mark 10:1-12).
