Jesus is not satisfied with the status quo...he urges us to take a stop further. In the Sermon on the Mount, he acknowledges that killing is one of the key commandments, and is liable to judgment, but then he says that's not enough, the next step us to curb our anger. "But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother, will be liable to judgment..." (Mt 5: 22), it has the same consequence as killing! Or, if we are bringing a gift to the altar and remember that there is some "junk" still lingering between us and another, we ought to leave the gift and go reconcile first. These are not easy challenges, and again, the help and strength of the Holy Spirit make them possible.
