Jesus
“Righteous Anger”
Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:12-19

Mark 11:12-19

What made Jesus so angry?

Human Anger…
	is often fueled by wounded pride
	leads to a lack of control
	causes petulance and vindictiveness
	is like a “live wire”

Righteous Anger…
	happens slowly and doesn’t last
	is always in control and essential
	proves hope and the offer of forgiveness
	is because He only wants the best for us

Why is Jesus so angry?
Apathy

The opposite of love is apathy!

Apathy is…
caring more about outward appearances than outcome
carelessness about who you accept and love
prioritizing success over commitment because of greed
sacrificing because it is required not from responsiveness
	worship of God just as a “short-cut” rather than a path from

Jesus wants us to take a stand!
	We are the temple

What should we have “righteous anger” about in our lives?
