Matthew 21:12
Jesus comes to the temple to, for the second time, clean it up. The Jewish leaders were so interested in materialistic things that allowing the temple to be filled with merchandising was no issue for them. When considering the profit to themselves, they were very loose in their understanding of what was allowable in God’s house. This is what Jesus finds all the time in the hearts of those who have a pretense of religion. There is no room for true worship.

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
