Anger in the temple

Matthew
Some may wonder how Jesus could get angry enough to overturn tables, and still not sin.  Anger doesn't have to be sinful.  Holy anger, indignance at the way people mistreat God's holy temple, is quite justified.  If all anger was sinful, then Ephesians 4:26 would make no sense: "In your anger, do not sin."  If anger was sinful, then it would be impossible not to sin while being angry.  But that's not the case.  So when you are angry, work it out for the good and glory of God.
