Provoking Jesus to Jealousy

When you think of God being a jealous God, you’d be forgiven for first imagining Exodus chapter nineteen and the burning, billowing kiln of Sinai.

However, like the Corinthians, dismissing the possibility of idolatry in the church being a major problem is to wrongly assume that Jesus Himself is not provokable into jealous fury.

Paul was convinced that, in the New Testament, God was unchanged from the Jewish Scriptures in His intolerant and exclusive demands on His covenant people.

This is the penultimate session looking at godly human jealousy, this time in the lives of David, Paul and Christ Jesus Himself.
