“The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing their way into it. It is easier for Heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the law.
Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.”

Because of the Pharisee’s love of money and willingness to add to the law, Jesus included this teaching at the end of the parable of the shrewd manager. Their idol worship of money and authority had caused them to view and edit the law to fit their agendas…such as the topic of divorce that Jesus speaks of. The problem is that Jesus is clear that only one agenda matters…God’s. Quit laying out your own agenda. At the end of the day, it is God’s that will remain.
