Matthew 18:2-5 Luke 18:15 People were also bringing babies to Jesus for him to place his hands on them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. The Spiritual part of the children is very important. We should pray for our children. What good thing must I do to get eternal life? Galatians 3:5 So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard?

For he who said, “You shall not commit adultery,”[a] also said, “You shall not murder.”[b] If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker. Why did Jesus bring out the 10 Commandments? Because the law is the mirror of who we are. Jesus

You are not your own. If you are son of God, you must not be into the world and you must also be holy. It's a really big opportunity for us Christians of what God grace has. If I am already saved, I should not do such things anymore. It also means you NOT being selfish. The only king for us is Jesus Christ.

This chapter teaches about marriage and divorce. Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife? No. Because in the beginning God created one man and woman made for each other. One mind and two flesh. What God bind let no man set apart. Divorce in King James version means to put away. Because of divorce law many children became half orphan. In marriage the word united means shall cleave - to glue. Just like as you glue the paper when you set it apart after gluing what will happen? The two papers will be ruin. Jesus focuses in marriage than divorce and pointed out reasons to stay in marriage: 1. At the beginning God created one male and female 2. Man should cleave to his wife 3. No longer two but one, a husband must not divorce his wife. 4. Therefore, what God has joined together let no man shall separate. Moses allowed divorce because the people heart were hard. But the intention of God was to make marriage permanent and to protect women. Anyone who will divorces his wife except for fornic

Revelation 14:10-11 10 they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” Receptive means quick to response. God will give us heart of flesh.
