Episode Synopsis

In this episode we continue to explore the Sermon on the Mount.Everyone gets that murder is terrible. Most of us would never even consider murdering someone. At the same time, most of us freely give ourselves permission to harbor anger and use insulting language toward the people we know and encounter every day. Jesus tells us that we need to go deeper in our thinking and our interaction with one another. Just as we avoid murder, we should also avoid getting angry at each other and calling each other by the mean, ugly, and condescending words we all know. We need to stop hurting and being hurt by this kind of behavior. Instead, we need to seek to live in peace with each other.It's all right there in Matthew 5:21-26.
