Jesus's cleansing of the temple demonstrates the proper understanding of God's house and its purpose. The temple was meant to be the Father's house, the Son's house, and a house of prayer - a place for genuine worship and communication with God. However, it had become corrupted into a house of merchandise and a den of thieves. Jesus's dramatic action showed His righteous zeal for maintaining the sanctity of God's house, teaching us valuable lessons about proper worship and spiritual priorities.
