Church of Christ Studies

The Pharisees came tempting, hoping He would fall

"Is it O.K. for a man to divorce for any cause?"

He replied, "From the beginning 2 became 1 flesh,

Only in this way can they be blest."

​

Then why did Moses permit divorce?

Because of stubborness but no so at first.

But I say that except for fornication, 

To divorce and remarry is an adulterous relation.

​

The disciple suggests, "Then it's not good to marry."

That's true for those who are too contrary,

Marriage is not for everyone,

Some are more fitted to live alone.

​

Some children came to Jesus for prayer

The disciples thought it was unfair,

But Jesus said, "Be patient with them

For of such is the Kingdom of Heaven."

​

One man asked, "What can I do for Eternal life?"

Jesus said, "Keep the commandments.  You'll be all right"

"Which one?" he said.  Jesus gave him a list.

"These I have done!  What lack I yet?"

​

Jesus told him if he would be perfect

"Sell what you have and let the poor have it."

Hearing this, the man sorrowfully left​

For he couldn't part with his wealth.

​

Jesus said, "It's easier for a came to go thru a needles' eye

Than for the rich to be deprived

The disciples so stunned and amazed,

They said, "Then who can be saved?"

​

Jesus replied, "For those who put God first,

Sacrificing all things though it may hurt

Shall receive a hundred fold at the last,

And shall be rewarded with eternal life."
