Wednesday, December 28

[Jesus] said to them: “Not all men make room for the saying, but only those who have the gift.”—Matt. 19:11.

 

The congregation today includes married couples and families. Yet, it also includes many brothers and sisters who are not married. How should we view those who are single? Consider how Jesus viewed singleness. During his earthly ministry, Jesus did not marry. He remained single and focused his time and attention on his assignment. Jesus never taught that it was a requirement to get married or to be single. However, he did say that some Christians would choose not to marry. (See study note on Matthew 19:12.) Jesus respected those who were not married. He did not view single people as inferior or lacking in some way. Like Jesus, the apostle Paul carried out his ministry as a single person. Paul never taught that it would be wrong for a Christian to marry. He recognized that this was a personal matter. w20.08 28 ¶7-8

When We See Singleness The Way Jesus Does, We Recognize It Not Something needs to Be Remedied, But Rather A Personal Choice
