Angry Christ

Mathew 23:33 "You snakes, you brood of vipers!How can you escape being sentenced to hell?



Very harsh words....isn't it?
But our God is harsh towards sinful structures....
Our God is harsh towards false spirituality....a spirituality with two faces.....
Our spirituality should be expressed in our words..actions...thoughts...our attitude towards life, others.....

Mathew 5:21-23 says.."On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name? Then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; go away from me, you evildoers"


An uncompromising Christ.........
He points his hand towards injustice....
Fire in his eyes is a warning to demonic powers......
Our God is a loving God...but our God never keep quiet when life is denied....when justice is denied...when we again...again....again....lead a hypocrite life..
God is angry because ...God challenges the powers of this world.........
God is angry because a few dominates other....our God loves the "others"

We bear Christ's name...but do we witness the love of Christ...towards the people in the margins...underprevilaged....illiterate....homeless.....

See.... our Christ is with them......he consoles them...empower them....embrace them....Our christ is restoring their humiliated identity..

Yes...he is angry towards the structures...silent observers of this sin...
Yes..he is angry towards the compromising attitude of the spirituality of that time....
Christ is angry....BECAUSE CHRIST LOVES ALL....
HIS ANGER COMES OUT OF HIS LOVE....
