Jesus goes straight for the heart for the heart is the issue of all that He deals with.
A fellow came out of the service one day and said to the pastor, "You really stepped on my toes today." The preacher said, "I'm sorry, I was not aiming at your toes. I was aiming at your heart." In this section Jesus was aiming for the heart.
In the first example we saw that he dealt with broken relationships between two brothers. In the second and third example He dealt with broken relationships between husbands and wives. In the second example He addressed the subject of adultery and in the third He dealt with divorce which is often the result of adultery.
Today I want us to look at the second example. Now I am very much aware that the subject of adultery is not your typical Sunday morning subject. However, if Jesus thought it important to address the subject, I should address it as well.
