“So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”

(Genesis 1:27, New International Version)
“Jesus made a whip from some ropes and chased them all out of the Temple. He drove out the sheep and cattle, scattered the money changers coins over the floor, and turned over their tables. Then, going over to the people who sold doves, he told them, “Get these things out of here. Stop turning my Father’s house into a marketplace!”
(John 2:15–16, New Living Translation)
(John 2:15–16, New Living Translation)
We need to be very careful before reacting like Jesus
“Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires.”

What is the root cause behind our anger?

Much of the time, the root of our anger is pride.
“God said, ‘You must not eat it or even touch it; if you do, you will die.’” “You won’t die!” the serpent replied to the woman. “God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil.”

As followers of Jesus Christ, we naturally feel anger at the things which anger God.
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are
stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift
sword:His truth is marching on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah! Our God is marching on.
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are
stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift
sword:His truth is marching on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah! Our God is marching on.
We must examine our hearts for any hypocrisy within us.
“The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in tents and my commander Joab and my lord’s men are camped in the open country. How could I go to my house to eat and drink and make love to my wife? As surely as you live, I will not do such a thing!”
(2 Samuel 11:11, NIV)
(2 Samuel 11:11, NIV)
“Put Uriah out in front where the fighting is fiercest. Then withdraw from him so he will be struck down and die.”
(2 Samuel 11:15, NIV)
(2 Samuel 11:15, NIV)
“When Uriah’s wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him. After the time of mourning was over, David had her brought to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing David had done displeased the Lord.”
(2 Samuel 11:26-27, NIV)
(2 Samuel 11:26-27, NIV)
“When he came to him, he said, ‘There were two men in a certain town, one rich and the other poor. The rich man had a very large number of sheep and cattle, but the poor man had nothing except one little ewe lamb he had bought. He raised it, and it grew up with him and his children. It shared his food, drank from his cup, and even slept in his arms. It was like a daughter to him. Now a traveler came to the rich man, but the rich man refrained from taking one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare a meal for the traveler who had come to him. Instead, he took the ewe lamb that belonged to the poor man and prepared it for the one who had come to him. David burned with anger against the man and said to Nathan, “As surely as the Lord lives, the man who did this must die! He must pay for that lamb four times over, because he did such a thing and had no pity.’” Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man!
