Our paragraph topic is: (Cleansing of the Temple) Part 3.
Christ entered the temple with anger, horror, and frustration at what he saw. They were selling and buying of gifts for sacrifice. They were changing of monies and lying and deceiving the purchasers of their money, money that is meant for the purchase of gifts for the praise of God. The thieves and the robbers had entered the holy place used for prayer and thanksgiving and Christ was horrified at what he saw.
He saw evil. He saw those who were influenced by evil practicing greed and deceit. Their only goal was to make money and revel in the praise of mammon for the wealth that it brought to them. They were not concerned that it was a house of prayer. They were not concerned that it was a house of worship to the creator. They were only concerned with greed and deceit, how much could they cheat the customer out of their money meant for God the Father. And he said to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer'."
The word is written for all to see. The word is patient for the time for completion. The word is fulfilled for all to know that the time had come. And it came to pass that evil was overturned in the temple. It came to pass that evil would not take by force the house of God. It came to pass that the time for redemption was at hand and no longer would evil be allowed to rule the day.
He came to walk among us. He came to show us his love. He came that we would have a witness as to the truth. He came that we would have forgiveness and a new life. He came and he is our Lord and Savior. The word is written. The word is truth. The word awaits for completion. The word will be fulfilled. The choice is ours to believe. The choice is ours to accept. The choice is ours to know the truth of who we are in Christ.
Let not the world deceive you as it did me. Let not the world turn you away from the truth of who you are. Let not the world turn you away from the life that is freely given you by the sacrifice of his love. It is written for you to believe. It is written for you to accept freely. It is written for you to see and know him in truth and honesty. The word will be fulfilled. The word will be completed. The word will return to the Father having finished it's purpose. Will you receive the word and be renewed? I do, I have, I am, I know. Do you?
