From Bitterness to Forgiveness through Christ
Manage episode 439108180 series 2865589
What if your anger was as serious as murder in the eyes of God? Join me, James Long Jr., as we unravel this provocative question through the profound teachings of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. We’ll explore how Jesus redefines righteousness, focusing not just on external actions but the internal motivations that can lead to destructive behaviors. By examining Matthew 5:21-22, we’ll see how unchecked anger can morph into bitterness, hatred, and actions that fracture relationships and scar hearts.
In this episode of Lessons for Life, we’ll discuss practical steps to manage anger and foster peace in your life. From examining your heart and addressing anger swiftly with prayer and reconciliation, to striving to be a peacemaker, I'll guide you toward the transformative power of God’s truth. Experience the joy of forgiveness and the freedom found in Christ alone. For further resources and support, head over to jameslongjr.org and become part of our Lessons for Life community.
