Showing clear principles of street fighting, Jesus throws money-changers out of the temple.

Today’s Topic:  Jesus Was A Street Fighter

by Charles Prosper “The Street Fighting Sifu”

And it read in Matthew 21:12, “And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves.”

Now that’s what happened plain and simple. You can read and look it up for yourself. Upon closer examination, we can see very clear and effective principles of street self defense.

Principle # 1 – Jesus Got Angry – Jesus did not remain calm and go into some spacey Zen state of mind to calm himself down before he approached the money changers in the temple. He got “pissed”! This is one of the first principles to overcome any fear and hesitation of street confrontation. You must actually allow yourself to become angry which is one of the greatest antidotes to fear and timidity.

Principle #2 – Jesus Attacked First – Once it was clear that the line was crossed and there was a severe violation of respect for the sanctity of the temple, all negotiations were off! Jesus immediately went in there and took the offensive, overthrowing tables, and jerking seats from under creeps who were trying to sell doves in cages.

Principle #3 – Jesus Used His Environment – He threw tables around, pulled seats out from under their asses. Jesus went into berserk mode on them fools! And once he started his attack, he continued attacking until he had thrown multiple offenders out of the temple.

Now some people say that Jesus had holy anger. Fine. I’m down with that. We might even say that he gave them all a holy ass-whipping. Well, I feel that a holy ass-whipping, when necessary, is better than no ass-whipping at all. The message here is very clear, and that is, that there is a time for peace, and there is a time to fight. When Jesus had to fight, he fought.  Jesus was a street fighter, and if that was good enough for Jesus, it is good enough for me as well.
