Jesus continues to reveal the original intention of the moral law, shaping not only external actions but also the heart. Here he addresses two serious moral issues with broad implications, adultery and divorce. In restating the 7^th Commandment, Jesus makes the connection between the acts of the body and the heart. Lust is rooted in the heart long before the fruit of physical adultery is born. In linking his teaching on divorce to this section, Jesus reminds his church of the gravity of sexual sins and their far-reaching consequences. Once again, we are given a call to action for the sake of our souls and for the good of all.
