Bebe's interpretation
The command of Christ that "whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment" underscores the seriousness of harboring unjust anger. Anger that is without cause—anger that arises from misunderstanding, pride, or impatience—has no righteous foundation and therefore places us at risk of judgment. This is a strong reminder that while anger can sometimes be justified, it must always be tempered by righteousness. Without a valid cause, anger becomes sinful and destructive. This warning challenges us to examine the motives behind our anger and to consider whether our reactions align with God’s will. Unjust anger can poison relationships, perpetuate conflict, and hinder our own spiritual growth. In this sense, Christ calls us to embrace forgiveness, patience, and understanding, knowing that unchecked anger is not only harmful to others but also to our own hearts.
