Jesus was angry. Christians have not been able to solve the puzzle up to now because they think,”How can Jesus be angry? ” He has to be always smiling like a politician. How can he be angry?
He was angry; he was deadly angry. He entered the temple of Jerusalem and he was so angry he attacked, physically attacked, the money-changers. He must have been really tremendously angry because he was alone and he disturbed many money-changers. And he threw them out, tables and all, he chased them out of the temple, alone. When a man is really angry he has the strength of hundreds.
But I say to you that only this man can be angry because his anger will be part of compassion; only this man can be really angry because he knows what compassion is.
