Mans way of dealing with issues of anger is to deal with the outward actions, Anger management looks at strategies to deal with anger when it arises, Jesus deals with the heart.

2. You have heard that our ancestors were
told, ‘You must not murder. If you
commit murder, you are subject to
judgment.’ But I say, if you are even
angry with someone, you are subject to
judgment! If you call someone an
idiot, you are in danger of being
brought before the court. And if you
curse someone, you are in danger of
the fires of hell.

3. “So if you are presenting a
sacrifice at the altar in the Temple
and you suddenly remember that
someone has something against
you, leave your sacrifice there at
the altar. Go and be reconciled to
that person. Then come and offer
your sacrifice to God.

4. “When you are on the way to court
with your adversary, settle your
differences quickly. Otherwise,
your accuser may hand you over to
the judge, who will hand you over
to an officer, and you will be thrown
into prison.

5. 1. Following Jesus means living
differently.

7. Then he called the crowd to him
along with his disciples and
said: “Whoever wants to be my
disciple must deny themselves and
take up their cross and follow
me. For whoever wants to save
their life will lose it, but whoever
loses their life for me and for the
gospel will save it.

8. Do nothing out of selfish ambition
or vain conceit. Rather, in humility
value others above yourselves, not
looking to your own interests but
each of you to the interests of the
others.

9. 1. Following Jesus means living
differently.
2. It is not about the rules but the
heart.

10. “For it is from within, out of a
person’s heart, that evil thoughts
come—sexual immorality, theft,
murder, adultery, greed, malice,
deceit, lewdness, envy, slander,
arrogance and folly. All these evils
come from inside and defile a
person.”

11. Each tree is recognized by its own
fruit… A good man brings good
things out of the good stored up in
his heart, and an evil man brings
evil things out of the evil stored up
in his heart. For the mouth speaks
what the heart is full of.

12. Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves
me will obey my teaching. My
Father will love them, and we will
come to them and make our home
with them. Anyone who does not
love me will not obey my teaching.

3. Surrendered life = pure heart

14. You, my brothers and sisters, were
called to be free. But do not use your
freedom to indulge the flesh ; rather,
serve one another humbly in love. For
the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this
one command: “Love your neighbor as
yourself.” If you bite and devour each
other, watch out or you will be
destroyed by each other.

15. So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will
not gratify the desires of the flesh. For
the flesh desires what is contrary to the
Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to
the flesh. They are in conflict with each
other, so that you are not to do
whatever you want. But if you are led
by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

16. The acts of the flesh are obvious:
sexual immorality, impurity and
debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft;
hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage,
selfish ambition, dissensions,
factions and envy; drunkenness,
orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did
before, that those who live like this will
not inherit the kingdom of God.

17. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, forbearance, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and
self-control. Against such things there
is no law. Those who belong to Christ
Jesus have crucified the flesh with its
passions and desires. Since we live by
the Spirit, let us keep in step with the
Spirit…
