Exposing Empty Religion
The image of Jesus turning over tables and chairs of the money changers isn’t what we’re used to. So, why did He do it? The bottom line was that the temple merchants were preventing people from worshiping the Lord. Instead of praying for the people, these religious leaders were preying on the people for their own selfish purposes. And that made God angry. God is angry when people stand in the way of sinners who want forgiveness and cleansing; who want to come to know Him. Today, we learn of the emptiness of organized religion and how Jesus exposed it.
