HEAL - God's Heart for Healing in MatthewExemple

Healing From Anger Jesus teaches about the dangers of anger in this passage. Anger has an actual physiological effect on people, triggering the body’s fight or flight response. These physical manifestations caused by holding onto anger can hinder the healing process. Jesus said, “Anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment.” Why such a strong statement? This is because there are spiritual implications to remaining angry or holding bitterness in your heart towards someone. Jesus wants us to live at peace and experience emotional well-being of our soul. This is done through reconciliation. Not only should we quickly resolve any anger against someone else, He goes on to tell us that if we know someone has an issue with us, then quickly go and reconcile with them. This not only heals our hearts, but our bodies, too. Questions: 1\. Do you have someone you are angry at or who is angry at you? 2\. Have you tried to settle the matter? 3\. What steps do you need to take to address unresolved conflict?
