This sermon was preached by Justin Rogers on July 31, 2023 and is part 4 of the series 7 Letters to the Young Adult.
Remember that time that Jesus made a whip and went into the temple flipping tables? That was calculated. It takes a long time to make a whip. He knew what he was doing, and it was an anger filled with righteousness.
A common misconception about Jesus is that He is non-confrontational and unconditionally accepting of all people's preferences. This is simply not the Jesus of the Bible. But the Jesus of the Bible is 100% consistent. That same Jesus in the temple is the same Jesus writing the letter to Thyatira. He is Holy. He is Lord. And He is angry at what the church has become.
"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." We pray this blesses you and challenges you.
