Good Friday: The Anger of Jesus

What do you think about when you think about God? How you view God affects how you view yourself and how you live in the world around you. God is continually revealing Himself to us by showing us who He is and what He is like. As we get to know Him, He touches and transforms every aspect of our lives. This is the God who is.

What makes Jesus angry? Several times in the gospels, Jesus becomes angry. Yet, each time we see Jesus angry, it is always out of compassion for people. The compassion of Jesus leads to his anger over sin and always leads to action. When Jesus sees something hurting people, he always moves towards that hurt. When Jesus saw the ultimate thing hurting people, sin, he took our sin on himself. Our sin led to the death of Christ. As we sit in the darkness of our sin, the diamond of Jesus shines all the brighter.
