“Jesus showed anger when he cleared the temple from money-changers and vendors. Matthew 21:12-13; Mark 11:15-18; John 2:13-22”. When I read those passages in the bible, I was more confused if anger is really bad while our savior did feel anger. In Ephesians 4:26, Jesus taught us to be angry but do not sin with it. I once read that suppressing anger is bad because it can lead you to channel the anger to another person or another target. Improper handling of anger can lead to destroying relationships that are not meant to end, it can destroy relationships that are very important to you and you might end up regretting.
Anger should be dealt properly but this is easier said than done because, oftentimes, when people get angry they will just go rampaging. I say it is an example of improper handling of anger because we lose focus and we even trade good relationships just to win childish arguments.
When you feel anger, you need to have a good grasp of focus, because Jesus already showed us the proper way on how to express anger. Jesus does not hate the sinners but the sin itself.
I conclude that anger is not bad if handled properly, that we still have the right to get angry but of course we need to train ourselves to control it. Much better be aware while you are young so you could practice it during your childhood years. Well to all parents, you can pass this message down to your sons and daughters, train them. The best thing you can do to our sons and daughters is not the wealth that you can pass over to them when they grow old but the good attitude they learned from you, Promise they will be more thankful.
