We, The Kingdom…(Week 5): Kingdom COnflict | Anger & Murder
SERMON SUmMARY:
While the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:1 - 20) serves as a preamble to Jesus' Kingdom Constitution, what follows functions more like the Kingdom's Bill of Rights. Jesus establishes a new culture emphasizing truth over technicalities, specifically addressing how anger can lead to contempt and harm to ourselves and others. According to Jesus contemptuous anger is equally as serious as Murder. Both reveal the heart’s condition toward others and our belief that we have the authority to devalue the worth and dignity of another person. Reconciliation and resolution underscore the importance of recognizing the true worth of others by demonstrating love and actively seeking to mend relationships by prioritizing the care and dignity of those around us.
