The Monday Before
14 April 2003
There’s apparently a time and a place to let your message be forcefully understood. Yesterday, we talked about the final seven days in the life of Jesus. The Monday before Jesus was crucified, He cleaned out the temple. No account of this story portrays the act as peaceful. Was this the stress of what He was facing? Was this a momentary lapse? Was this God’s son fulfilling the purpose He was sent to fulfill? All of our modern day, pop psychology explanations break down when this event is viewed in light of the days that followed. Every step of the way ”obedience” was the watchword.
