Danger of Hellfire Matthew 5:21-26We all know people we think should go to Hell. The problem is that we don’t think we shouldHave you ever been angry with someone? I have. Many times. In my heart and in my actionsWife, kids, church people, neighbors, politicians, famous people, random people on the road, in the store etc etc. I hope that this morning I am not alone- Who else gets angry?It aint right, but its true. I am far from perfect in this area. Even if its not manifest externallyJesus is setting a very high bar for all of us this morning in regards to our angry hearts and actions
Anger with someone is akin to murder - Hellfire
21 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgmentWhat Jesus is doing here in great Jesus fashion is setting an unbelievably high bar for righteousness- its not just not murdering- its not getting angry- its whats in your heartThis is what Jesus does- all throughout Matthew and the NT- takes the OT principle and sets the bar even higher- its not enough that you don’t murder someone- don’t be angry with anyoneNow I will say this- it is possible to be angry and not sin- and there is biblical angerEphesians 4:26-27 6 “Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, 27 nor give [a]place to the devil.Jesus got angry- Mark 3:5 And when He had looked around at them with anger, being grieved by the hardness of their heartsThere is such a thing as righteous indignation and emotional frustration- different types of anger- angry at electrical, traffic, poor leadership, politics- but In this scrip. Its relational emotional anger that affects you and personal relationships. It affects YOU and others. 1 John 4:20-21 20 If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, [a]how can he love God whom he has not seen? 21 And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.This is the standard- this is how we must live. We must not hate- we must love
Most especially those who are in the Faith- those who are in the Faith1 John 3:14-15 4 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death. 15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.And it starts in the HEART- Jesus says- not in the actions- even inside thoughts are damnableWhat does it mean to you - HellfireYou better check yourself before you wreck yourself. Don’t lie to yourself and pretend you don’t have it in your heart. 1 John 2:9 9 He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now.And here’s the scary thing about anger and hatred- you can hide it so very well- well most people can- a lot of people are so loose lipped with it that I know who many people hateI don’t care who has wronged you and what has been done to you- Jesus says- no angerThere are a host of people you can find to be angry at and frustrated with- and Jesus says noFor me- my relationship with my father- lots of reasons- is what it is- gonna go see himNow that’s almost easier because I can file that and think about it- but the flippant social media comment, cut off in traffic, disobedient child, accusing person doesn’t always get the same treatment- ALL emotional anger internal or external is murderous and Jesus says stop itPr 4:19 19 The way of the wicked is like darkness; They do not know what makes them stumble.
