And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve. Mark 11:11 – Jesus entered into the city of Jerusalem in splendor, and where did Jesus go first? Straight to the temple. In our verse we see that He when into the temple, and looked around at everything, then because it was late headed out of the city with His disciples. What did He see? What was His thoughts? While not outlined in verse 11, we do see how He handled things the next morning. Likely when Jesus went into the temple, He saw all the closed-for-the-night money changing tables and all the booths for selling animals, for the next morning we see that’s exactly what He directed His righteous anger towards. He came to the temple and saw many things that shouldn’t be there, and He began to flip over the tables to remove what shouldn’t be present. Let us remember that the temple of God is no longer a building in Jerusalem, it’s the people of God. You are God’s temple as a follower of Jesus. So if Jesus walked into your temple and had a look at everything, what would His reaction be? Would He be pleased with your life? What tables would He be flipping? Has there been allowed into the temple of God things that should not be present? We can see the money changing tables and animal booths were disturbing to Jesus for such things were taking away from the true worship of the Lord and misusing the temple, know such is the way Jesus sees our sin in our life today. It’s taking us away from true worship and misusing the temple God has given us. Let us then take a walkthrough of our own life to see what it might be that Jesus would see on a walk through. If there is anything you see you’d know He’d turn over, let’s begin addressing that today. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 3102
