Jesus got angry with the moneychangers in the temple. That s a judgment call but it turns quickly. When feelings of bitterness, resentment and desires for revenge start cropping up, it s certain that the time has come to let go of the anger. That s no simple task and one we are not likely to be completely successful in doing. Letting go of the anger means forgiving the person that has hurt us.
Forgiveness is so hard.
It s also the only cure for bitterness and resentment. Learning to forgive is a whole other topic too large to go into here, but it is important in dealing with failures caused by others. If we don t deal with the issue of forgiveness, we end up with more failure caused by our anger. The Bible is filled with lessons about forgiveness because Christianity is all about forgiveness. We would have no eternal life without the forgiving grace of God.
