Mark 10:1-12 - Homilies By E. Johnson

The law of marriage.

I. THE DIRECTIONS OF SCRIPTURE FOLLOW THE OLDER LAW OF NATURE .

II. THE SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE IS FOUNDED ON NATURE .

III. IN ITS IDEAL , MARRIAGE IS FOR LIFE , AND INDISSOLUBLE .

IV. YET THE ACTUAL CONDITION OF HUMAN NATURE COMPELS SOME RELAXATION .

V. BUT WHAT IS PERMITTED IS NOT , THEREFORE , TO BE APPROVED OR FOLLOWED PRACTICALLY . Christianity is throughout ideal. It makes appeal to our higher nature. At the same time, it admits the difficulty of carrying our ideals unexceptionably into practice.—J.
