When Jesus Cleans House
God often challenges us before changing us. Jesus isn't our interior designer.
This weekend at Onechurch Pastor Filmore Bouldes resumed our study through the Gospel of John. At the beginning of the second chapter, we find Jesus providing and bringing joy through the miracle of turning water into wine at a wedding. As we read through John 2:13-22, we now see Jesus with a different emotional response due to what He observes.
In a powerful display of divine authority, Jesus cleanses the Temple in Jerusalem. Outraged by the commercialization of God's sacred space during Passover, he overturns tables, drives out those profiting from the spiritual practices of the people, and even mentions his upcoming crucifixion and resurrection. The sounds of worship were drowned out by the sound of business.
Jesus demonstrated his seriousness and zeal for God's house and his commitment to restoring it to its intended purpose. The house of God exists not to meet consumer demands but to prioritize God's presence.
What does Jesus see when he looks at our church? Are we confusing our priorities?
As we grow in our walk with Christ, our hearts and minds now become the temple Jesus seeks to dwell within. In this message, Pastor Filmore reminds us about the importance of examining our own spiritual lives and considering whether distractions have hindered our relationship with God. We are challenged to view our attitudes and comfortable habits; are they the type to make Jesus flip tables in our temple?
A mature faith in truth exists with learning to know all of Jesus revealed through scripture. This does not happen by putting Him in boxes. We serve a God who not only joyfully provides but also righteously confronts. And the reason is because He is passionate about us.
So, what does Jesus see when he steps into the temple of our hearts?
Jesus isn't looking for a temporary lease; he is looking for a permanent residence. He hopes to reside, cleanse, and transform.
