Today’s gospel event is especially significant. Scripture scholars have proposed that this event with Jesus overturning the money tables probably lead to his undoing and ultimately being betrayed and handed over to Pilate. When Jesus drove out the money changers the Pharisees started losing money and they became more serious in their plans to get rid of him.
Jesus'anger was motivated by his zeal and commitment to God. His handling of the money changers gives us direction on how to express anger. Learning how to live with anger can be a useful tool in developing our spirituality.
