When the lecture said that Jesus greatness is often revealed in what Jesus suppressed. I had to stop and think about that statement. How many times was Jesus, our Lord was going to destroy the Nation of Israel and an interceder had to come forward. Even when Jesus got angry, He took on the Pharisees in the Temple and others, threw the money changers tables over and drove the animal out. Even then, He had to suppress his anger. I can really think of many cases like this. The best one and real meaningful to me, is when I sin, God suppress His anger with me and have mercy on me. I had not thought of this way before. It is a real comfort that Jesus, our High Priest, our interceder on our behalf before our Father. That is what older brothers do.

Mat 26:53 NKJV Or do you think that
I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve
legions of angels?
Mat 21:12-13 NKJV Then Jesus went into the temple of God and
drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the
tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. (13) And He said to them, "It
is written, 'MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER,' but you have made it
a 'DEN OF THIEVES.'"
