Matthew 5:21-26

As we continue studying the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus addresses the problem of anger. Anger is not just a problem for people who have an "anger problem."

Yes, some of us flip out and lose our temper and are assigned classes by the court. But others give the silent treatment for days and that is just as destructive to our soul. Some of us withhold forgiveness for years, while others pretend everything is okay with those we are angry with and then gossip about them behind their backs.

Jesus wants us to recognize the danger of it all, feel the weight of it, and seek freedom from it.
