SHALOM greetings, Cherished one. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ aimed to make us understand the essence of the Temple of God. He reveals that it is a place for prayer, one form of ministering to the Lord. *Jesus is the Head of the Church and He sets the modus operandi within the Church.* He has unveiled that His temple is not a place for merchandise, marketplace nor a den of thieves. Our focal text says Jesus taught the unadulterated word of God daily in the temple. This was after He had driven away the den of thieves.
Jesus’ attitude here implies that the house of the Lord is a place for sound word ministration or teaching, not stories or fables. For it is through the Word of God that we are instructed, directed and guided to rightly chart the course of our lives. *Without the Word of God in our lives, our lives will be full of darkness, mistakes, errors and failures. Jesus’ teaching daily in the Temple is a way of showing them how to live through the principles of God’s kingdom.* Due to the necessity of God’s Word in our lives, Jesus didn’t allow anything to replace it.
Beloved, what Jesus did here is an eye opener for all. It tells us that you should examine any temple you enter whether there is a ministration of prayer and sound teaching of God’s word. The absence of these two makes the place a market place, merchandise or den of thieves. *Any place or temple that has replaced prayer and sound teachings of God’s word with other things is not God’s standard place for worship.* The rich grace of our Lord Jesus Christ abounds towards you always. Amen!
