Murder and Anger

Our Lord will now begin describing how the Law was meant to be taken. He knows this because He was there when the Law was originally given to Moses. When we read this, we may experience the epiphany the Apostle Paul experienced. In Romans 7:7, Paul told us how he realized that the Law involved the internal sin of coveting. "What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, "You shall not covet." The Lord was demonstrating how we could not ever be righteous through the law. The Lord must save us by grace through faith.
