Restoring Our Temple

John 2:13-17

And the Jew's passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to  Jerusalem.

And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:

And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changer's money, and overthrew the tables;

And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.


*** Today's lesson let us know we should not  use the House of God -our father's house - for any other reason than intented: A house of prayer, praise and worship.

There are many commercial market places to be used to sell merchandise, instead of using our Father's home- His resting place.

Even though the Israelites met God in the mountains for worship; the Temple -  our church - is a spiritual place we meet Him now for prayer, praise and worship.


Let's learn also to keep our bodily temple restored - our mind, soul and body- guarded from the things of this perverse generation.



Until we meet again - soon.
