Jesus’ work involved not just a spring dusting of the temple, but a deep clean, a full revelation of God’s unthwartable plan for Israel, his people. This included challenging some long-held idols, shining a light on the emptiness of much of the ritual being celebrated, and stripping away the power-strut of the religious leaders in Jerusalem. It also demanded a painful re-think of some prejudicial practices hindering the advance of the Kingdom of God.
