Matthew 5:21-22……Working

“You have heard that it was said to the people long ago Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment. 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.

More Notes & Applications

• Teaches how anger is a very deceptive emotion and a self-justifying one. (How many have told themselves; “I have a right to be angry with them for what they did to me!” or “.

• Teaches how the same is true of us. We may not have killed anyone. But have we assassinated people by our sharp tongue, by the things we spoke about them behind their backs. We can do this not only with our tongue but also in our thoughts.
