How Can You Not Get Angry?

Łódź Szymon Karkowski 21.01.2024 Sermon 5 of 16

You have not killed anyone, but how many times this week did you wish someone would simply disappear from your sight? Further into the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5) Jesus sets anger alongside murder and moves God’s law from outward acts into the heart, because words spoken in rage leave marks like nails driven into a fence. The sermon also raises something harder than restraining anger: the duty to go first and seek reconciliation before you come back to worship. Listen if you are carrying stored-up anger that will sooner or later go off.
