Did your mother ever say to you when you were angry with her, “Don’t you use that tone of voice with me,”? When my mother said those words, I knew that I needed to straighten up my attitude. Translation for Raca is tricky because the tone of voice used in conjunction with the spoken word actually defines the word. The word used for insult in the above translation is Raca. He said that those who insulted their brother needed the Sanhedrin (Council of Elders) to reprimand them. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives two ordinary examples. Sinful anger, on the other hand, is the type that we hang onto and cultivate. A prime example of this type of anger was when Jesus overturned the tables in the Temple (Matthew 21:12,13). Wilkin, is anger felt when the Father’s will is violated. When is anger a sin and not a sin? Righteous anger, according to Ms. The trouble comes with how we handle our emotion and in this instance, anger. Wilkin instructs the listener that emotion has no right or wrong.
Truly, I say to you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny.” Matthew 5:21-26 Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. “You have heard that it was said to those of old,‘You shall not murder and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire. Jesus began his prescription for deeper obedience by casting light on the progression of anger unresolved. But more importantly, they were to be kept internally down to the very motivations of the soul. He wanted them and us to see that the foundation for murder and adultery first take root in the heart. He taught that obeying God’s Law at face value wasn’t enough because the commands had deeper implications. In Week 4, we delved a little deeper into understanding what Jesus meant by a righteousness that exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees.
