Mat 21:12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
Mat 21:13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
Mat 21:14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
Mat 21:15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased,
He cleansed the Temple, He ran off the businessmen and their money making ventures.
Then the lame and the blind came to Him and He healed them.
In the Temple. He is God, He is in His House and they had a Sabbath worship of God and man getting together and knowing each other.
The Children sing Hosannas to the Son of David for they knew who He was yet the Pharisees saw all this, the healings, the worship, the sheer momentousness of the event and what happens? They complain of the children singing and what they are saying.
For all the people see Jesus as the Messiah. Yet the religious leaders only saw a vagabond and a roustabout. Why? Because He did not follow their structured ways.
Jesus had one afternoon with the people, in His House, doing what the House was intended for. I bet that was a sight to see.
I even think He wants a lot more of those days, where we all come together and sing Hosannas to the King, Worshipping in fullness of Spirit.
When we leave the business of the world, the money changers at the door and we go in to meet with the God that so loved the World.
I think our Father likes that.
