Covenantal Faithfulness (Matthew 5:31–32)

Matthew 5:31–32 gives us Jesus’ teaching on divorce, which reminds us that the citizens of the kingdom are people of the covenant. Though we are unfaithful, as those joined to a covenant-keeping husband, we have the opportunity to display the glory of Christ as we keep our earthly covenants in his power. We consider these verses from the dual lenses of man’s mess and God’s glory.
