November 14th 2021-Jesus demonstrates that just abstaining from murder is insufficient. We must be delivered from the spirit of vengeance and fury in our hearts, which leads to hatred of others, which is murder in the spirit realm (Matthew 5:21-22). Along with restraining their anger, as followers of Christ we should strive to make peace with people who are furious with us. Even in matters that appear to be miniscule, an offender would be wise to make it right with their adversary and receive the blessing of God over their lives. If we refuse to heed to God's Word, we may find ourselves in even more difficult circumstances, maybe now or when we stand before God at the Judgment Seat of Christ (Matthew 5:23-26).
