The Cleansing

Matthew 21:12-13 (CSB)—Jesus went into the temple and threw out all those buying and selling.  He overturned the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves.  He said to them, “It is written, my house will be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of thieves!”

The money changers in the temple had turned the temple into a den of thieves.

They were taking advantage of the people.

Jesus saw this and was filled with righteous anger.

God’s temple was a place of prayer and worship, but now was being used for business dealings.

Are our lives devoted to prayer and worship, or have those things been crowded out by the busyness of life?  

Let us cleanse that space in our lives.  

May we change our priorities to prioritize Him above all else on this earth.

In Christ,
Jonathan
