Here is the Stand on the Word reading for today:
Mark 10 ESV | NKJV | AUDIO
Reflection Questions:
1) When asked a potential "gotcha" question by the religious leaders about divorce, what did Jesus communicate was God's original intention for human sexuality and marriage (v. 1-9)?
- God made us either male or female, so gender is fixed, not fluid
- God intends for marriage to be only between one man and one woman, so same-sex or polygamous "marriages" are prohibited
- God intends for marriage to last for life
- All of the above
2) According to Peter's recollections recorded by Mark, what was Jesus' statement about His mission as the messianic "Son of Man" (see v. 42-45)?
