But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgement;
Mt.5:22
What stops me loving others? Pride expressed by anger.
Anger is a red flag signaling something is wrong within me, not within the one to whom I am angry. Yes, there is a thing called righteous anger but that is something different and not so common.
What is Jesus' recommended antidote for unrighteous anger? Reconciliation. The first step is to conquer pride with humility. Once I am reconciled with myself then, in humility, I can be reconciled with my brother.
Jesus, may there be less vain and prideful posturing in my life and more humility. May anger be banished from within me.
