Thoughts to Consider

Jesus’ ministry was book-ended by cleansing of the Temple – demonstrating His desire for holiness

Jesus was confronting Jewish leaders – showing He was the Messiah

The court of the Gentiles – as close as gentiles could get to God

My house shall be called a house of prayer – from Isaiah

Jews would have known Jesus referencing ‘house of prayer for all people’

Holiness

– thru the holiness do we see the love and mercy and justice of God

– God will clean out unholiness

The time is coming when it wont matter where you go to worship God – Jesus to Samaritan woman

– All Christians are His temple

1 Peter 1:13

– no longer shaped to our ignorant former passions

– when saved we are seen as being sinless

– out of appreciation we attempt to live sinless

– we cant earn it Salvation

– God looks at us and He sees Jesus

– Jesus cleansed our sin by His work on the cross

— Luke 19:44-48
