Inhaltsangabe

Few people realize that the Gospels include at least fifteen different stories about Jesus anger. When was Jesus angry? What was he angry about? Is Jesus anger relevant today? Is it right for a Christian to be angry? Although sinful anger cannot achieve the righteousness of God, godly anger can rouse a sleeping church. Godly anger lights a flame that fuels people to wake up and be truthful out loud, so that many (who don't expect it) can be healed. Godly anger is powerful. Its an aspect of real love. It ushers in true hope because it knows that God is faithful. It dares to take a risk because it trusts that God has its back.

Without the salt of Jesus anger, people accept whats unacceptable. We allow what we shouldnt allow. We dont make changes we should make. We deceive ourselves into thinking that corruption doesnt need to be opposed. Godly anger is not afraid. It assumes responsibility. It motivates us to confront things we wish did not exist. Jesus anger is Gods gift to help deliver us.
