This Sunday, we explored Jesus' teachings on anger in the Sermon on the Mount and emphasized how Jesus deepens the understanding of the commandment "You shall not murder" to include the destructive power of anger and insults. Jesus calls us to self-reflection, identifying the causes of our anger, and taking steps towards reconciliation.
