The Message

Luke 16:14-18 The Message (MSG)

When the Pharisees, a money-obsessed bunch, heard him say these things, they rolled their eyes, dismissing him as hopelessly out of touch. So Jesus spoke to them: “You are masters at making yourselves look good in front of others, but God knows what’s behind the appearance.What society sees and calls monumental,God sees through and calls monstrous.God’s Law and the Prophets climaxed in John;Now it’s all kingdom of God—the glad newsand compelling invitation to every man and woman.The sky will disintegrate and the earth dissolvebefore a single letter of God’s Law wears out.Using the legalities of divorceas a cover for lust is adultery;Using the legalities of marriageas a cover for lust is adultery.
