Friday 27 May

1 Peter 4:7-13, Ps 96, Mark 11:11-26

See, judge, act

Jerusalem was a centre of religious and commercial power. Jesus had visited the city and temple a day earlier and seen the financial deals being done. He intentionally returned to upset their activities. This is the only recorded time that Jesus was physically angry. He couldn’t stand their religious hypocrisy and passionately did something about it. Using the ‘See, Judge and Act’ model, reflect on how anger can empower you to do something about what troubles you.
