When Jesus got angry...

The Bible says Jesus became angry (Mark 3:5). But at what was he angry?

Did he get mad at people for not agreeing with him? Did he get upset at people for not catching on to his message fast enough? Did he throw a tantrum when others didn't go about things his way?

Ask these questions. Ponder them, deeply.

Ask these questions too. Have professed Jesus-followers ran off not-yet-Christians because they have failed to converse about Jesus without anger, sarcasm or intimidation? How has anger over matters intended for the realm of humble conversation affected the Christian witness?

In my estimation, it appears that Jesus grew angry at those who "knew better" and refused to bend in humiliation. His scathing rebukes were directed at those who suppressed people with self-righteous bullying.

I know these thoughts seem random...maybe so, but perhaps something to think about.
