22.05.03 “Anger?” (Matt. 5:21,22)

 

We're spending a few days with the disciple Matthew in the weeks following the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. Matthew, like all the close friends of Jesus, is trying to make sense of it all. Jesus had told His disciples that He was sending them out to teach other people what they had learned from Jesus. So, Matthew was reflecting on a very significant day when Jesus spoke shocking words to the people which we today call His "Sermon on the Mount". Matthew records it for us in detail in Matthew 5, 6, & 7.  Today, let's consider these words Jesus spoke that day: "You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment."
