During Jesus’ earthly ministry, he entered and cleansed the temple twice. Once at the beginning of his ministry and once before he died on the cross. His zeal for the purity, sanctity, and holiness of the house of God was clearly seen as he cast out the moneychangers and those who sold animals in a desire to restore the sanctuary to a house of prayer. Today, our bodies are the temple of God. The body of Christ, his church, is also the temple of God. In many ways we have let moneychangers and merchants into our lives which has robbed us of prayerfulness and the beauty of God’s presence. Thankfully, Jesus is still in the temple cleaning business as he seeks to restore true worship to our lives, his church, which is his body.
