Like someone throwing a switch that stops a stage show in mid-flight, so Jesus, in driving out the animals and money changers from the temple, stopped the whole operation of the temple momentarily. This was not only an act of judgement on a system that had become a stumbling block for those seeking to find and worship God, but it was also saying that worship of the one true God was, from now on, to be centred around the person of Jesus Christ himself. Are we as passionate about the things of God as Jesus was?
