DON’T MAKE HIM ANGRY (you wouldn’t like Him when he is angry)

MARK 3:1-5

 

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

I. THE ANGER OF JESUS [Mk. 3]

 

1. Their Whole Goal was to Use Jesus’ Compassion to Accuse Him [v. 1-2]

 

2. Jesus, Applied the Scriptures, Making it a Matter of the Second Great Commandment [v. 3-4, 12:31]

Mark 12:31 And the second is like, namely this , Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

 

3. Jesus Showed Compassion to the Man, Anger to the Hard-hearted [v. 5-7, Ephesians 4:18]

Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

 

II. THE DISPLEASURE OF JESUS [Mark 10:13-16]

 

1. The Bible has Much to Say About Keeping Children from Jesus, none of it good [v. 13-14]

Matthew 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 18:14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

Mark 9:42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

Luke 17:2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

 

2. This Word is Used 7 times in Scripture, Only Once is it Applied to Jesus [v. 14]

Matthew 20:24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.

Matthew 21:15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,

Matthew 26:8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

Mark 10:14 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

Mark 10:41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John.

Mark 14:4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?

Luke 13:14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day

 

3. Jesus, Despite His Displeasure with the Disciples, Blessed the Children [v. 14-16]

 

III. THE WRATH OF JESUS [Rev. 6:16-17]

 

1. The Wrath of Jesus Starts Being Felt by the World During the Tribulation [6:16-17]

 

2. The Wrath of Jesus is the Same as the Wrath of God [Revelation 11:18, 14:10, 16:19, 19:15]

John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Romans 2:5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

Rm. 2:8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath

 

3. The Believer Has Been Saved from this Wrath By Christ

Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

1 Thessalonians 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

1 Thessalonians 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
