Jesus and Anger
Jesus was without sin, but say that to a sinner and he will probably tell you that Jesus sinned when He cleared the temple. Jesus did become angry, but the Bible speaks of a sinful anger that has no cause.(Matthew 5:22) Jesus had good cause to be angry. Money-hungry televangelists had set up shop in the temple of God, and Jesus cleared them out with a whip. Wouldn't you like to have been a fly on the wall that day? Jesus was no girly-man. He had the strong hands of a carpenter, and a stronger love for righteousness. He cleared the temple of thieves, and that's what He wants to do with sinners. The thief who came to kill, steal, and destroy must be driven from the hearts of guilty sinners, so that they can become the temple of the Holy Spirit. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
