Mark 11: 12-19; Jesus Clears the Temple

Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.

Why does Jesus clear the Temple? Jesus clears the Temple because the Israelites are not using it in the proper way. Rather than using God's house as a house of worship, the Israelites use the Temple as a place to make money and practice corruption. This passage is important because it reminds us of the importance of keeping God's house a holy place. We do not have the same problem as the Israelites. We do not use God's house as a place to make money or practice corruption. However, a reminder is still a good thing. This church is God's house, and we need to remember to treat it as such. In this passage we see just how important it is for us to keep God's house a holy place. God bless you.
