What if we took Jesus’ words SERIOUSLY? That's precisely the angle we're diving into as we unpack Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount from Matthew 5, 6 & 7 in the Bible. Join us as we explore how Jesus addressed the seriousness of anger and its implications for our lives as followers of Christ.
Jesus doesn't just talk about anger; He emphasizes its seriousness by equating it with murder. Yes, you read that right! Anger towards a brother or sister in Christ is equivalent to killing them in Jesus' eyes. This is a wake-up call to take our anger seriously and understand its destructive power.
But Jesus doesn't leave us without solutions. He urges us to reconcile quickly with those we're angry with, whether it's a fellow believer or even an adversary. Our worship of God is hindered by unresolved conflict, so Jesus prioritizes reconciliation.
To manage our anger effectively, James, Jesus' brother, offers practical advice: be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. Reflect before reacting, restrain your remarks, and remember the results of unchecked anger.
Ultimately, Jesus came not only to transform our eternities but also our lives here and now. He offers healing and restoration for our sinful, divided hearts, exemplified in the exchange of His perfect life for our sinful one.
Join us as we journey through the Sermon on the Mount and discover what it truly means to take Jesus' words seriously in our lives today.
