JESUS CLEANSES THE TEMPLE
God’s House Is Sacred
At the time of the yearly Passover feast, Jesus went to Jerusalem. Three years earlier when He had attended the Passover feast, He had been very sad by the lack of respect for God’s temple. With a braided rope whip, He had driven out the merchants and moneychangers. He had unloosed the cattle, sheep, and doves.
Now this year the merchants were all back again, busy as ever. God’s holy house looked like a market and smelled like a barnyard. How could anyone worship God in such a place? Jesus knew He must bear witness against this disgrace.
So Jesus again drove out all the merchants and upset the tables of the moneychangers. He cleared away the seats of those who had been selling doves. He did not let anyone carry any kind of bowl or pitcher through the temple. Then Jesus explained, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer.’ But you have made it a den of thieves!”
The Jewish leaders had made a rule that no lame or blind person could enter the temple. They said that only those with perfect bodies should come before the Lord. They forgot that God looks at the heart of a person more than at his body. So Jesus welcomed the lame and blind people into the temple and healed them all!
Soon the children saw Jesus doing good deeds in the temple. These innocent little ones always loved Jesus. They cried out over and over, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” (implying: God help the Messiah). What a day it was! Never before had anything like this happened in the temple. Never would it happen again.
The priests and elders should have rejoiced to see so many happy people. Instead, they were very angry.
Jesus asked them, “Have you never read in the Psalms, ‘Out of the mouth of children, even infants, you have perfect praise’?”
Matthew 21:12-16
Mark 11:15-18
Luke 19:45-48
John 2:13-16
Caption: Jesus chases the moneychangers and merchants out of the temple.

Children: 1. What did Jesus do to the merchants?
2. Who cried out, “Hosanna to the Son of David”?
3. Were the priests and elders happy?
