Matthew 5:20-26
Jesus said to his disciples:
“I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees,you will not enter into the Kingdom of heaven.
“I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees,you will not enter into the Kingdom of heaven.
“You have heard that it was said to your ancestors,
You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment. But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment,and whoever says to his brother, Raqa, will be answerable to the Sanhedrin,and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ will be liable to fiery Gehenna.
You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment. But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment,and whoever says to his brother, Raqa, will be answerable to the Sanhedrin,and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ will be liable to fiery Gehenna.
Therefore,if you bring your gift to the altar,and there recall that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there at the altar, go first and be reconciled with your brother,and then come and offer your gift. Settle with your opponent quickly while on the way to court.Otherwise your opponent will hand you over to the judge,and the judge will hand you over to the guard,and you will be thrown into prison.Amen, I say to you,you will not be released until you have paid the last penny.”
Makipagkasundo...Makipagbati...Makipagayos!
Mateo 5:20-26
Sinasabi ko sa inyo: Maliban na ang inyong katuwiran ay hihigit sa katuwiran ng mga guro ng kautusan at mga Fariseo, sa anumang paraan ay hindi kayo makakapasok sa paghahari ng langit.
Narinig ninyong sinabi nila noong unang panahon: Huwag kang papatay. Ang sinumang pumatay ay mapapasapanganib sa paghatol. Ngunit sinasabi ko sa inyo na ang sinumang nagagalit sa kaniyang kapatid ng walang dahilan ay mapapasapanganib ng kahatulan. Ang sinumang magsabi sa kaniyang kapatid: Hangal ka, siya ay mapapasapanganib sa Sanhedrin. Ngunit ang sinumang magsabi: Wala kang kabuluhan, siya ay mapapasapanganib sa apoy ng impiyerno.
Kaya nga, kapag ikaw ay magdala ng iyong kaloob sa dambana at doon ay maala-ala mo na ang iyong kapatid ay may laban sa iyo, iwanan mo roon sa harap ng dambana ang iyong kaloob. Lumakad ka at makipagkasundo ka muna sa iyong kapatid. Pagkatapos ay bumalik ka at maghandog ng iyong kaloob.
Makipagkasundo ka muna sa nagsasakdal sa iyo habang ikaw ay kasama niya sa daan. Kung hindi ay baka ibigay ka ng nagsasakdal sa iyo sa hukom at ibigay ka naman ng hukom sa opisyal at ipabilanggo ka. Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo: Sa anumang paraan ay hindi ka makakalabas doon hanggang hindi mo nababayaran ang huling sentimo.

Whoever is angry
There are times when Jesus seems to be very lax, eating with sinners and doing work on the Sabbath.
At other times, he is very strict, declaring that a lustful look can be adultery and a curse can be murder. So what is Jesus’ real stand?
Ordinary good people, it is said, do good. But great people do good and more. It is this more that makes the difference, separating the men from the boys. Jesus urges us to do more, way beyond what ordinary people do. He Himself does this when He goes all the way to prove His love for all of us, dying on the cross.
We are not called to be ordinary people. We are challenged to contribute more to our world. And we will never discover that something extra unless we push ourselves some more!
God bless you more than you can ever imagine!
