Our Lords anger does indeed burn against those who are sinning and are unconcerned about it regardless of whether they are consciously and willingly breaking Gods heart or whether, like the Pharisees, they are living in denial of their sin. With those who are broken-hearted over their sin, however, our Savior is not only not angry; he is ever so close to them. The Lord is more excited about a single sinner who wants to stop sinning than over ninety-nine righteous. He is far more delighted with the tax collector who is overwhelmed by his sinfulness, than over the Pharisee with his long list of moral achievements. The Almighty declares blessings upon those who mourn and who are conscious of their spiritual poverty. The Amplified Bible puts Psalm 34:18 this way: The Lord is close to those who are of a broken heart, and saves those such as are crushed with sorrow for sin . . .
