If Jesus is the Messiah, is risen from the dead, then He has authority over proper worship!
Jesus’s action was about proclaiming a new relationship with God.
Jesus’ actions were about purifying a culture of the temple.
Where do we need purification in our worship practices?
Looks can be deceiving!
There is a saying in our world, “don’t judge a book by its’ cover”; meaning the outside of a book is not always honest on what the pages of the story may contain.
Temple
During the time
Jesus is THE Prophet!
This is part of the role he is playing in Matthew 21.
Prophets proclaim.
They speak the words of God to a current culture.
Prophets act strange.
Part of their job is to live out the message they are proclaiming.
Thus at times they do things which seem to not make sense.
Prophets are strategic.
They do not just do something on a whim or suddenly for the most part.
It is a strategic point they are trying to make.
It is helpful for us in the cleansing of temple to see Jesus did not get mad suddenly.
This wasn’t the first time
Jesus cares about injustice.
He was taking a stand for the outcast and exploited.
How can we take up this mantle again in 2019.
In fact, the younger generation is sometimes better equipped and more willing to fight injustice than other generations.
Jesus cleansed religion.
What part of our religion and worship needs to be cleansed again?
Jesus brought new relationships.
He fulfilled what the prophets said concerning proper worship: mercy not just sacrifice.
He became a light unto the Gentiles, as promised by the Prophets.
Church or Jesus?
Are we pointing people to church or to Jesus?
It is simpler and to some extent easier to be about “church”.
After all, we can feel, see, go to, and experience church.
Church is clean and clear cut.
Jesus is on the other hand messy at times.
Look good or have life?
We can look great on the outside but never experience life and life as Jesus meant for it.
Remember looks can be deceiving.
Next Steps:
Speak up for injustice.
Commit to Christ.
Remember to pray.
Be open to others.
