Jesus chasing away the money changers. A picture in my
old King James Bible. After His triumphal entry into Jerusalem,
Jesus spent the night in Bethany. The next morning on the way to
the Temple he passed a fig tree and finding no figs He cursed it and
continued on his way. Today's poem is his anger at the money changers.
Mark 11:12-19 Luke 19:45
AN ANGRY JESUS
Jesus chanced the anger
Of the people that day,
By showing them His anger
As He chased the money changers away.
He did not mind...
Stepping on the toes,
Of the religious leaders,
With their warnings and their woes.
He could not abide
The hypocrisies,
The falseness and the rules
Of the Pharisees.
He stood up for the little people,
Those they thought of no account,
Even healed on the Sabbath...
As their anger seemed to mount.
As He trudged through the streets
Of Jerusalem that week...
He was marching forward
To a destiny He would keep!
