Joh 2:13 The Jewish Passover was near, so Jesus went to Jerusalem.
Joh 2:14 He found those who were selling cattle, sheep, and pigeons in the temple courtyard. He also found moneychangers sitting there.
Joh 2:15 He made a whip from small ropes and threw everyone with their sheep and cattle out of the temple courtyard. He dumped the moneychangers' coins and knocked over their tables.
Joh 2:16 He told those who sold pigeons, "Pick up this stuff, and get it out of here! Stop making my Father's house a marketplace!"
This passage reminds me that our bodies are the temples of Christ. Many are the times we allow ourselves to be clouded by many worldly things that we loss focus to the purpose God created us for. The bible tells that that the main purpose God created us is to worship Him (acts 17:27).
Have we filled our hearts with the hustles and buzzles of this live that we even have no time for God? Are we so pre occupied in making our lives comfortable and forgotten the giver of that live? Does he has a place in our hearts or are our hearts full of the selling and buying and money changing that we can hardly even hear Him talk to us?
May God help us to clear our hearts of all that comes between us and God so that we can have a place for Him in it. May we not wait until God takes a whip and clears our hearts for Himself.
