The Gospel of Matthew - Concerning Anger | Matthew Chapter 5 : 21 - 26

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus delves into the deeper implications of the Law, particularly regarding murder and anger. He teaches that while the Law prohibits murder, harboring anger and insults against others is also sinful and deserving of judgment. Jesus warns that unresolved conflicts and anger can lead to severe consequences, even judgment before God. He urges reconciliation with others before offering gifts at the altar, emphasizing the importance of making peace with others quickly. This passage underscores the significance of addressing the root causes of conflict and the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation in maintaining right relationships with others and with God.
