Matt
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,
Jesus
is God. Jesus is King. The Father said to the Son, “Your throne, O God,
will last forever”. (Heb 1:8) Jesus has
the authority over acts of worship and what He would deem appropriate conduct
among His people that claim to be facilitating His worship. Jesus went in and cast these people out. He overthrew the tables that held the profit
of those who were making money from people’s sincere desire to please God. When the Lord set up certain things to
facilitate a growing relationship with Him, He did not intend those things to
become BIG business and Christian corporations strategizing on how to make
money off of Jesus’ worshippers. It
doesn’t matter how ‘successful’ a CD or book is. It doesn’t matter if a practice at a church
brings in the money or multitudes. The
judge of the matter is Jesus Christ. We
must be open to Jesus coming into our lives, our churches and searching
us. We must embrace the times He turns
things upside down. His intention in
turning things upside down is to make His people upright!
