Leviticus 16:11-22 (Resurrection Sunday)

“God’s righteousness, his holiness, elicits more than just the automatic result of death and destruction of wickedness, it means also, that he consciously abhors evil as well. Rightly, he is filled with just rage and anger over sin and wickedness, which is why the bible uses the word wrath, he hates evil as it is utterly incompatible with his holiness…Talk of an angry God seems to some, a belittlement, that wrath ought to be beneath the God of the bible. But this is terrible logic. You and I should want a King who champions good and punishes evil. Anything other is itself wickedness. Anger against sin exists because of love for righteousness, holiness, purity and good.”
