The Courage to Clean House: Coming to Calvary, pt.1
Scripture: Matthew 21:12-17
When the chief priests and scribes saw that Jesus had cleansed the temple and healed the blind and the lame, they were indignant (angry; annoyed).
- How come the chief priests and scribes weren't indignant about the financial exploitation going on in the church but took issue with the celebration of healing?
Then those who were healed asked Jesus if He heard the chief priests and scribes, to which the Lord responded saying, "Yes Have you never read, 'Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants you have perfected praise?"
- What Jesus was emphasizing here is that babes have not been corrupted by greed.
Then Jesus left them, went out of the city of Bethany, and lodged there.
- He addressed the issue then got back to the mission.
