About this listen
In this episode, I dive into one of the most striking moments in Jesus' ministry: the cleansing of the temple. We often picture Jesus as gentle and compassionate, and rightly so, but here, we see a Savior with a whip in hand, turning over tables and driving out corruption. Why? Because His Father’s house had lost its purpose. What began as sacred space had become a marketplace, a shell of what it was meant to be.
But this isn't just about first-century Jerusalem. It’s about us, our lives, our churches, our hearts. We too can get so busy doing religious things that we miss the heart of God. Jesus doesn’t just drive things out; He makes room for what’s meant to be there, things such as prayer, healing, holiness. So, I ask: What would Jesus drive out of your life if He walked in today?
This episode calls us to honest reflection and bold restoration. We’re not just avoiding sin, but we are building something sacred. Something fruitful. Something real. Because in the end, it’s not about looking alive, it’s about being alive in Christ. Let’s restore the temple.
