Episode Synopsis

Anger is an awful thing, isn’t it? It consumes our thoughts. It clouds our minds. It leads to foolish actions. Anger is an awful thing. But Jesus offers us another way. Hopefully, you’re familiar with the idea of laying your sins at the foot of Jesus’ cross. Every day, we repent. We humbly lay our sins at the foot of Jesus’ cross and trust in Jesus’ forgiveness. Here’s what we need to learn: To lay other people’s sins at the foot of Jesus’ cross too. Whose sins did Jesus die for? Everybody’s. Instead of angrily carrying the burden of other people’s sins on your heart, lay them at the foot of Jesus’ cross. There you’ll find peace. “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you” (Ephesians 4:25-32). I hope you can listen to this Lenten sermon about the deadly sin of anger and the forgiveness found in Jesus. God bless you!
