'Be angry, AND do not sin' (Ephesians 4:26)

“So they came to Jerusalem. Then Jesus went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. And He would not allow anyone to carry wares through the temple. Then He taught, saying to them, 'Is it not written, ''My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations"? But you have made it a 'den of thieves.' "(Mark 11:15-17)

Jesus went into the temple and 'drove out', 'overturned', 'disallowed' any activity which was not in accordance with His Father's will for 'a house of prayer' for all nations. He did nothing that could be considered beneficial to Himself. His actions appeared angry, but He did not sin. He did not depart from the Father's righteous call.

"Therefore, putting away lying, 'Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,' for we are members of one another. 'Be angry, and do not sin': do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil.'(Ephesians 4:26,27)

"Let no CORRUPT WORD proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for NECESSARY EDIFICATION, that it may IMPART GRACE to the hearers."(Ephesians 4:29) We must be imitators of Christ's example: no corrupt word from selfish ambition or bitterness, but what is necessary to edify the the church. Jesus' actions when He went into the temple were a breath of fresh air to the remnant who were there for prayer; bothersome to those who were not: but necessary!
