There are a few episodes in Scripture where Jesus does indeed get angry (and He didn't sin when He was angry, see Ephesians 4:26) Perhaps the angriest that Jesus ever got was when merchants and moneychangers were turning His Father's house into a den of thieves and a marketplace. Why did this offend Jesus so much, and what application does it have for us today?
