Most lessons in this series find the church harsher than Jesus. This one runs the other way. In many churches today divorce is treated as a private matter, sad but ordinary, and his words about it are seldom preached. In others, divorced people are quietly shamed, kept out of leadership, or made to feel like second-class believers.
You're not imagining it, though it may not be what you expected. On divorce, Jesus was stricter than almost any church you know. This lesson shows that plainly, because a fair measure has to cut both ways. It also shows that he never shamed the people churches have often shamed, and never asked anyone to stay in danger.
