How do we know that Jesus has a holy anger against sin?

Answered in 1 source

We see Jesus' holy anger against sin in His reactions to religious hypocrisy, particularly in Mark 3, where He is grieved by the hardness of hearts.

Jesus' holy anger against sin is made evident in Mark 3 when He confronts the religious leaders for their hypocrisy. He asks them whether it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath, exposing their failure to show compassion. His anger is not a petty reaction but a righteous displeasure directed at the hard-heartedness that prevents true worship and mercy. This attribute of Christ reveals His deep concern for holiness and the sufferings of humanity, emphasizing that He cannot tolerate sin or the hypocrisy that accompanies it. His anger serves as a contrast to His merciful nature, demonstrating how He responds to both sin and the desperate plight of sinners.
