2. "a Right To Be Angry"
Contributed on Feb 26, 2019
Jesus had a right to be angry with the people of God in His day. Does He have a right to be angry with God's people today?
There are a few times in the gospels where we read about our Lord becoming angry. This was one of those times.

A consideration of our Lord's struggle in Gethsemane.

Contributed on Apr 1, 2019
There were three sets of people present at our Lord's betrayal.
