Luke - The Temple Tantrum/Righteous Anger - 2 years ago
Righteous Anger / Christian Disciplines / by Oliver
Many people are surprised that Jesus showed anger in this way, although Jesus was very patient and taught to turn the other check, there is also a time for righteous anger, and Jesus demonstrated this against the money changers.
There are times when you are wronged and get to turn the other cheek, but there are also moments when you see an injustice in the world and we as Christians can fight against it.
Jesus was upset with those using the Temple, his father's house, to cheat people.
In today's world, we see injustices like human trafficking or abuse. We know these occurrences are wrong and go against what the Bible says, this gives us the opportunity to fight against these injustices.
Jesus is perfect, he never sinned. He was not sinning when he was angry in the Temple. We see Jesus as an example of righteous anger.
In your anger do not sin.
Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
