Jesus and the Temple
Seeds: Bible app study note
1. Matthew 21:12-17.
2. I love when the bad guys get what’s coming to them. In the movies or on a TV show, it’s almost “therapeutic” to see the bad guys get theirs.
3. That’s what we feel most often when we read these verses. The bad guys in the Temple (merchants, non-worshippers, cheats) go down at the hands of Jesus.
4. But there’s also a personal element of this story. 2 Corinthians 6 says our bodies and our heart are the “temple of God.”
5. If Jesus came into our hearts today, what would he find? What would he bring?
• When Jesus enters, He drives out evil (12)
• When Jesus enters, He calls for prayer (13)
• When Jesus enters, He brings healing (14)
• When Jesus enters, He evokes praise (15)
• When Jesus enters, not everyone is happy about it (15-16).
6. Open the doors wide today to what Jesus would do in your heart/life.
