Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
Matthew gives us a good picture of Jesus here. We can see, and hear, the anger of Jesus as we read this passage. And we can understand, we can sympathize with Jesus. The Temple, the House of God, is being violated by the money and corruption of the people. So Jesus throws them all out, because they are not using God's house in the proper way. We would do well to remember this passage. Even though there are no money changers or sacrificial animals in this church we still need to be reminded that this place is a house of worship, a house of prayer. This is a place for us to rest, to be renewed and refreshed for our journey of faith. This place is a house of worship; a place to come before the throne of grace to offer thanksgiving and praise. God bless you.
Pastor Josh
