When Jesus entered the temple in Jerusalem to worship at Passover, He found the people being cheated under the guise of religion. We may be troubled by Jesus’ forceful response, failing to recognize that He used His authority not in self-interest but with a passion to set things right. The Jewish leaders questioned Jesus’ right to act. Alistair Begg helps us understand how we likewise struggle with the issue of authority. Do we find Jesus worthy enough to kneel before?
13tThe Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus uwent up to Jerusalem. 14vIn the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. 15And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. 16And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take these things away; do not make wmy Father's house a house of trade.” 17His disciples remembered that it was written, x“Zeal for your house will consume me.”
