The disciples said to Him, (Jesus) “If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.” But He said the them, “Not all men can received this precept, but only those to whom it is given. For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to receive this, let him receive it.” Matthew 19:10 – 12
Lord an important thing to remember in reading this passage is that the Pharisees were trying desperately to catch You in saying something that didn’t agree with the Jewish laws. This was their whole reason in asking the questions.
You knew their hearts. You knew how evil they were and what they were trying to do. You knew their whole intent was to discredit everything You were teaching.
Oh how I thank You Lord that You know our motives and desires. You know how much we love You and that we are doing our best to serve You. You are there to guide us when we ask.
Thank You. Thank You Lord.
