CHRIST CLEANSES THE TEMPLE
MEMORY VERSE: “And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; saying unto them, it is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves” (Luke 19:45,46).
TEXT: LUKE 19: 45-48
According to D.A. Carson, the fact that Jesus was not arrested by the Temple guards was due to the fact that the crowd supported Jesus’s actions. The temple was the central place of worship for the Jewish people. It was built by King Solomon in the 10th century BC as the home for the Ark of the Covenant and was considered the most sacred place on earth by the Jewish people.
Due to spiritual decline in Israel, the temple had turned to a place of merchandise (buying and selling). We should be careful not to use the house of the Lord to do wrong things that will hinder God from answering our prayers. The miracle of healing took place after Jesus cleansed the temple by casting out the sinners who were using the house of God for commercial puposes. Keep God’s temple holy and clean as this will attract God’s presence and healing. Jesus has the power to cleanse you of anything that defiles His dwelling place (your body). Come to Him in true repentance for your total freedom.
QUOTE: Keep God’s temple holy.
PRAYER: O Lord, make my body your dwelling place.
CHALLENGE: Jesus can cleanse you completely.
