Godly fury

Written by Douglas Agyapong.

When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?” The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.” Jesus entered the temple courts 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. “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’”. (NIV) Matthew 21:10-13

The passage tells that Jesus Christ drove out those who had turned His Father’s house into a market. He overturned tables of money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves. As hostile as this act by the compassionate Master seemed, it was the right thing to do. I find here something good to do with anger after all.

Anger is generally not a good thing. But I suggest that if you ever have to be angry, do it for the right reason. We have to scan for the wrongs in our society and allow ourselves to be furious about them. This fury would then lead us to cause a positive change. The heart of God cannot tolerate wrongdoing and we need to acquire such a heart. One Wayne Dyer said: “There is nothing wrong with anger provided you use it constructively”.
