Takeaways:
What to do with Anger
- The first thing you might notice here is that the Psalmist seems to be angry.
- Psalms are those that imprecate - invoke judgment, calamity or curses upon one’s enemies or those perceived as the enemies of God.
- Anger needs to be handled properly. Anger can become sinful and hurtful, but in its most basic form, anger can be thought of as passion.
- We can learn from how Jesus displayed his anger:
- His anger had the proper motivation, control, duration, and result.
Coming Judgment
- Judgment has been delayed. There will be a final judgment.
- The sheep and goats refer to those who know Jesus by faith - sheep and those who don’t - goats.
- The point of the story that Jesus told was that we all are given opportunities.
Our Only Hope
- Jesus is our rescue, our comfort, our only hope.
- Sin is sin in God’s eyes and it has to be dealt with. We can thank Jesus for redeeming us.
Discussion Questions:
- How does the idea that God will judge everyone at the return of Christ make you feel? Why?
- How does God show his love by telling us about judgment before it happens?
- How can God be a God of vengeance and grace at the same time?
- What do we do with an imprecatory Psalm and Jesus’ command to love our enemies?
