Mark 10:1-12

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

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.
