What happens when zeal for God confronts greed and corruption? In John 2:13-22, Jesus enters the temple and overturns more than just tables—He upends the way we think about worship, holiness, and our hearts. With a whip of cords in hand and fire in His eyes, Jesus declares that His Father’s house is not a marketplace but a sacred space for communion with God.

But this isn’t just about a building. Jesus’ fury exposes misplaced priorities and a deeper truth: He is the true temple, the meeting place between heaven and earth, where broken hearts are restored and sin is forgiven. His actions point to the cross, where His body—the ultimate temple—would be destroyed and raised again, making way for all to worship in spirit and truth.

Are there "tables" in your life that need to be overturned? Let Jesus' zeal for holiness inspire a fresh encounter with His grace. Listen now and let your heart be stirred.
