Bible Question: What exactly is righteous anger? |
Bible Answer: I can only recall what it took to make our Lord angry. We see that in Matt 21:12 Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. 13"It is written," he said to them, " 'My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you are making it a 'den of robbers.'" We should also remember the tremendous amount of abuse our Lord endured, including a sorry excuse for a trial and the totally undeserved crucifixtion. So after prayerfully considering the subject that might be making us angry and think "Would Christ be angry at such a thing?" If He definitely would, then go for it BUT then we must remember Paul's words in Eph 4:25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one body. 26"In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27and do not give the devil a foothold. One last reminder: We must do everything possible to resolve that item causing such anger like approaching the person and talk to them about it because we want to go to bed at night and answer God "Yes, Lord, I did the best I could in following your commands including" Rom 12:17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. 18If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. Hope this helps and God bless. --Rowdy |
