How did Jesus respond to injustice in other situations?
Lament – Entrance into Jerusalem
Anger – Clearing of the Temple
Righteous Response – Zacchaeus, Tax Collectors, Adulterous Woman, Woman at the Well
Main Point: As Christians we are allowed to respond to injustice with sorrow, anger, and just actions; sometimes we need to just remain silent. We must take injustice to God before we respond.
