Introduction
Murder motives - money, sex, power
dyads vs triads
dyad - puts Jesus’ commands higher than OT standards.
Triad - puts Jesus’ teaching as a way to fulfill the OT standards.
Traditional Righteousness
The Vicious Cycle
The Transforming Initiative
1. Traditional Righteousness - Don’t Murder (v 21)
2. Vicious Cycle - Unchecked Anger Leads to Murder (v 22)
anger results in judgment, just like murder
name-calling (hyperbole)
feather-brain
moron (fool)
Flyboys by James Bradley - WWII named Japanese by names so that it would seem like they were not killing a person, but someone less than a person.
IL: There were these two Norwegians, Ole and Sven… two Hittites, Ole and Sven.
3. Transforming Initiative - Be Reconciled
Before Worship
Importance
Timing
distance between Galilee region and Jerusalem..
Before Escalation
Jesus and the courts - very skeptical
broader principle - fix it before it gets out of hand.
Are you in a conflict that seems unreconcilable?
Maybe it began when you overlooked a fault (good thing to do), but kept a memory of it and never forgave (bad idea).
Conclusion
Think through the names that you accept as normal for people you don’t like.
Check your anger level at certain events and people.
Come to worship prepared - invite the HS to search your life for hidden anger and broken relationships.
Don’t let small things grow into large things.
