INSIGHTS & NOTES FROM
"VERS. 1 - 12. Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause."
"Husband & wife should be no only one flesh, but also one heart & mind. (Hedinger.)" "'What God hath joined together let not man put asunder.'" "'The woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth.'" "'Christ allows of divorce in cases of adultery; He disallows it in all others.'" "Vers. 13 - 15. - Then were there brought unto Him little children." "As children, they are within the covenant & provisions of grace." "They need a guide, a shield, a true friend, etc." "It is a great mistake, & involves a great wrong to the child, not to insist upon his deciding & choosing Christ now, for unbelief & carnality are gaining strength." "ONE OF THE FIRST DUTIES WE, AS A CHURCH, OWE THE LORD JESUS IS TO ASSIST IN BRINGING THESE CHILDREN TO HIM." "Bring them to Jesus!" "Christ commends in children 3 or 4 things, wherein they who are adult ought to resemble them. 1. Freedom from prejudice or openness to conviction; freedom from pride, or humility; freedom from worldly affections, or indifference to earthly things: & finally, freedom from custom of sinning, or innocence. (Nath. Lardner.)"
