     | 12,371 views

     | 3,132 views

    The Temple of God had a place for you and I called the Court of the Gentiles. It was a place for all the Non-Jewish people could gather. God provided a place for people just like us even though we are not Jewish.

    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.
