Matthew 5:21-26
From Scripture we see anger is not in itself bad or always improper, but it can easily go bad in us.
God gets angry:
Deut 9:7
Psalm 103:8
Jesus got angry:
Mark 3:5
Mt 21:12
Mt 23:23
We get angry:
Prov 14:29, 15:18, 29:11 “fools give vent to their rage…hot tempered commits many sins.”
Ephesians 4:26-27 “In your anger do not sin”
Exodus 20 /Deuteronomy 5 “you shall not commit murder”
-not death by accident (Deut 19:5)
-not defending one’s home (Ex 22:2)
-not capital punishment (Gen 9:6/Num 35:31/Romans 13:1-7)
Jesus is teaching here that behind every murder is anger and hatred let loose, and we all get angry.

Jesus makes a shocking statement to get our attention:
Jesus calls us to make peace at our personal cost:
So What?
-we need to practice the purge of feeling superior against others
-we need to make honest efforts to make peace with others
