He addresses “various trials and testing of faith that produce patience” (see James 1:2-3). In James’ letter, he jumps right into issues we all struggle with every day. Instead, let’s open the gates to gentle speech, grace, and honor to others. Though the Lord loves all of us, when we are not walking in His ways, we are opening the gates wide for the enemy. When we know what to do and do not do it, inner anger arises in us and, if we are honest, we may not want to address it.īut remember, God blesses the righteous. In Hebrew, wickedness means to follow the dictates of your own heart. If we are going to walk in victory over this emotion that can burn through us like wildfire in a dry field, we need to understand that God is angry at unrighteous choices and behavior. “And when He had looked around at them with anger, being grieved by the hardness of their hearts, He said to the man, ‘Stretch out your hand.’ And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored as whole as the other.”-Mark 3:5 Let Us Be Found on the Side of Righteousness… And He said to them, ‘It is written, “My house shall be called a house of prayer,” but you have made it a “den of thieves.”’”-Matthew 21:12-13 Jesus Was Angered by Hard Hearts…
“Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. Jesus Was Angered When God Was Dishonored… Most of us do not think of Jesus as being angry, but what we fail to realize is that Jesus’ expressed righteous anger was toward the sinful behavior and injustices that He saw around Him. So, as Believers and those who want to follow the will of God, what should anger us? And… is our anger justified? Jesus Expressed Righteous Anger There seems to be a fine line between righteous and unrighteous anger. We ask, “What is righteous anger? What is unrighteous anger? And where does my own anger fall between the two?” Many of us wonder if-and hope that-this all-consuming emotion will one day not have the power over us that it seems to possess in so many situations. Pray and come out of agreement with anger decree and declare the promises of God that are based in the roots of our faith.Īnger is one of the most challenging emotions to overcome.Take a quick assessment to understand our anger better.
So, we are going to dig in and look at how Jesus expressed anger.
Righteous anger, also called righteous indignation, is something a lot of us have questions about.
When we are angry about the same things God is, this is righteous anger. Righteous anger in the Bible is God’s anger toward injustice and wickedness.
