Righteous Indignation


During confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court, nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh came out with verbal guns blazing. Not only was Kavanaugh defending himself against accusations of sexual misconduct from Christine Blasey Ford, but he put the committee and the public on notice that he intended to fight to stop people from disparaging his reputation and his character. Similar to people accusing President Trump of not acting Presidential, some people are now saying that Kavanaugh’s righteous indignation wasn’t the decorum they expect of a Supreme Court Justice. Jesus faced the same situation in his day when many thought He wasn’t acting Christ-like enough. Who could have imagined the Messiah would have done a housecleaning in the temple, “Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves” (Matt 21:12 NIV).
