We often think of divorce as a legal term. A divorce is actually when any of us stray away from a sacred covenant. When Jesus is discussing divorce, he is not talking about a legal matter between two bitter spouses. He is talking to all of us who have strayed from sacred, divine covenants. At various points in our lives, we have all divorced ourselves from God. This is why we need to come to the Altar of God and partake of the sacred elements. World Communion Sunday is a wonderful celebration where the world comes to the Altar of God. We all come as sinners in need of redemption and grace. And, we all come as sinners that have divorced ourselves from God.
