Ephesians 4:26
"Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the
sun go down upon your wrath:"
The anger which is selfish and uncontrolled is a sinful and hurtful thing, which must be banished from the Christian life. But the selfless anger which is disciplined into the service of Christ and of our fellow men is one of the great dynamic forces of the world.There must be anger in the Christian life, but it must be the right kind of anger. Bad temper and irritability are without defense.
There were times when Jesus was terribly and majestically angry. He was angry when the scribes and Pharisees were watching to see if He would heal the man with the withered hand on the Sabbath day (Mark 3:5). It was not their criticism of Himself at which He was angry; He was angry that their rigid orthodoxy desired to impose unnecessary suffering on a fellow man. He was angry when he made a whip and drove the changers of money and the sellers of victims from the Temple courts (John 2:13-17). My friends, our anger if, and when it occurs, must be selfless anger just as Christ displayed as an example for the word.
Amen!
