Beyond "Gentle Jesus, Meek and Mild": Understanding God's Righteous Anger


Listen Later

In this compelling final episode of our Nahum series within "The Minors," we tackle the profound difference between human anger and divine wrath. From Will Smith's Oscar slap to Jesus clearing the temple, we explore why our understanding of anger often misses the mark when it comes to God's character.

Key insights include:

  • Why comparing God's anger to human outbursts fundamentally misunderstands divine justice
  • How God's wrath actually demonstrates His love
  • Why modern "tolerance" falls short of biblical love
  • The danger of surface-level Bible reading when it comes to difficult topics
  • How understanding God's anger helps us better appreciate His mercy and grace

This episode challenges our tendency to water-ski over scripture's deeper truths and calls us to wrestle with the full character of God - not just the comfortable parts. Perfect for those seeking to move beyond shallow spirituality to a more mature understanding of faith.

Part of our ongoing series examining the Minor Prophets, this episode concludes our study of Nahum while setting up important themes we'll continue to explore throughout the series.
