Summary
Dimitrios Panagopoulos continues a series on the Sermon on the Mount at Matthew 5:21-22, with related texts including Matthew 5-7, Psalm 4:4, Mark 3:5, John 2:13-16, Ephesians 4:26-27, James 1:19-20, Matthew 25:40, and Acts 9:4-5. He presents Christ as lawgiver superior to Moses, extending the command against murder to the inward anger from which murder grows. The Pharisees illustrate the danger of external righteousness without purified intention. The homily distinguishes ego-driven anger from righteous anger against evil, compares uncontrolled anger to drunkenness, and gathers Chrysostom, Basil the Great, Paul, James, Solomon, Pythagoras, and David in counsel toward restraint.
