Matthew 19:1-30

What is the theme of this chapter?

Human Problems and the Kingdom — physical problems, divorce and remarriage, children, wealth, rewards in the kingdom.

What is the key verse(s) of this chapter? Verses 28-29

Jesus said to them, "Truly, I say to you, in the new world, when the Son of Man will sit on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life."

What can I apply to my life from this chapter (things to do/avoid)?

I believe a divorced person can find grace and forgiveness in Christ. But I also believe that divorce is wrong because it is a violation of God’s plan, and that no justification for it can be found in Scripture.
