About This Quote
What is holy anger? It is the anger that arises when we feel injustice. It is the anger that comes out when we see someone harmed by the laws of society. It is the anger that arises when we see things happening that seem unfair. The prophet Isaiah, for example, was angry because he saw his people suffering in slavery.
And he wanted to help them, so he wrote this verse: “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You” (Isaiah 26:3). “Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger” (Ephesians 4:26). William Barclay said in The Daily Study Bible Series: “Anger can be a spiritual weapon, lashing out at injustice or hypocrisy in God's world.
It can be a way of disciplining ourselves into self-control. But it must be under control; if not, it becomes sinful. Look at the Christian martyrs who suffered for their faith; they were filled with holy anger.”
