Jesus overthrowing the money changers tables
Some portrayals of Jesus in films and pop-culture have Him roaming around like a disconnected introvert who is lingering for opportunities to solve problems. But on the contrary, the Bible illustrates several passionate scenes from the life of Christ.

  • He overthrew the tables of the money changers in the temple - Matthew 21:12, 13.
  • He was moved to tears at the news of Lazarus’ death - John 11:35.
  • The Bible says many times that Jesus was moved with compassion - Matthew 9:36-38; 21:12, Mark 1:41 and more.
Jesus was Passionate.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
