He possessed a zeal for the Lord’s House. It was at
that place where there was to be prayer for the nations, a place from which the
kingdom of God was to spread from the River to the Sea. But the caretakers of
the House had become negligent, either apathetic to the work of the Lord or
quite literally trying to personally profit from the Lord’s House. This failure
of obedience and lack of faith made Jesus angry enough to make a scourge and whip
people out of the Lord’s House.
How is your zeal for the Lord’s House? Do you love it here?
And do you believe that from here God’s blessings flow to the ends of the
Earth? Let us confess any apathy and any greed, and all unbelief as to the
victorious Lordship of Jesus. And may the Lord restore unto us a zeal for the
Lord’s house.
