Good Friday: The Anger of Jesus

What makes Jesus angry? Several times in the gospels, Jesus becomes angry. Yet, each time we see Jesus angry, it is always out of compassion for people. The compassion of Jesus leads to his anger over sin and always leads to action. When Jesus sees something hurting people, he always moves towards that hurt. When Jesus saw the ultimate thing hurting people, sin, he took our sin on himself. Our sin led to the death of Christ. As we sit in the darkness of our sin, the diamond of Jesus shines all the brighter.
