The Baggage We Bring

I'm amazed sometimes at the baggage we bring as we long to understand.  This week, our church is looking at part of the sermon on the mount where Jesus addresses "divorce." 

Just the word has so much baggage. 

We don't know how to treat the subject.   Many people walk on eggshells as they begin talking about it, something that wasn't as much of a problem when we talked about murder/anger, or lust/adultery.

Crazy, how Jesus longs to free us of baggage, to take his yoke instead of bringing our own...yet we insist and bring plenty with us. 

Hoping for Grace in my words and in many people's lives as I teach on it this week as well.
