The Kingdom on Foot: JESUS' Tender Words on Divorce (Matthew 5: 31-32)
Episode 16
Saturday, 25 April, 2026
Send us Fan MailThis episode steps into one of the most difficult and often misunderstood teachings of Jesus—His words on divorce and remarriage in Matthew 5:31–32.For many people, this passage hasn’t felt like good news. It’s been a source of confusion, shame, or even deep personal pain. Instead of rushing past that, this conversation slows down and makes space for the real human weight behind these words. What has this teaching been used to say? Where has it been mishandled? And what was Jesus actually addressing in His own time?We walk through the Old Testament background in Deuteronomy, the debates happening in Jesus’ day, and how His original audience would have heard this teaching. Rather than offering a cold legal standard, Jesus speaks into a culture where covenant was being treated casually and people—especially women—were being left vulnerable under the cover of religious justification.This episode also takes time to bring clarity to the language Jesus uses, especially the word “adultery.” Not as a weapon or label, but as a way of understanding how deeply God values covenant, trust, and relational faithfulness. From there, we gently explore what Jesus’ words might mean for remarriage, repentance, healing, and moving forward in a life shaped by truth and grace.This is not a conversation about drawing hard lines or handing out categories. It’s an invitation to see the heart of Jesus more clearly—His seriousness about covenant, His concern for the vulnerable, and His commitment to truth that heals rather than condemns.If this topic has ever felt heavy or personal, this episode is meant to meet you there—with honesty, care, and a deeper look at what Jesus is really saying.Support the show If you have any questions about the subjects covered in today's episode you can find us on Facebook at the links below or you can shoot me an email at joe@buddywalkwithjesus.com One Stop Shop for all the links Linktr.ee/happydeamedia
