Series: Road to Resurrection
Sermon: The Cleasing of the Temple
Scripture: Psalm 24:9-10; Matthew 21:12-17
“Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is he, this King of glory? The Lord Almighty— he is the King of glory.”
Psalms 24:9-10 NIV
“Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. “It is written,” he said to them, “ ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’” The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them. But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they were indignant. “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him. “Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read, “ ‘From the lips of children and infants you, Lord, have called forth your praise’ ?” And he left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where he spent the night.”
Matthew 21:12-17 NIV
- Focus: This sermon will examine Jesus cleansing the temple, driving out the money changers and those selling animals for sacrifice. It serves as a powerful demonstration of His authority and His passion for true worship.
