MASKS PART 2: Anger & Resentment

 We all wear masks to hide our anger and resentment, but these destructive emotions can consume us if left unchecked. The story of Cain and Abel shows how anger led to devastating consequences when Cain killed his brother after God rejected his offering. While some anger can be righteous, most of our anger stems from the consequences of our own actions rather than true injustice. Resentment is always wrong and creeps in quietly like bitterness. We hide these emotions behind three common masks: gossip and slander, isolation and separation, and blame and victimhood. To remove these masks, we must be kind and forgiving, walk with wise people who help us process emotions properly, and accept responsibility for our actions. The ultimate solution is surrendering everything to Christ, who gives us strength to overcome these destructive feelings. (Preached by Sam Eby to youth on 10-22-25)
