1.
 | 
			
		||||
The temple was built on a mountain.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
There were many roads that led up to it, and quite a few gates to enter the temple compound.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Along the main road leading to the temple, was a marketplace, where money changers and merchants sold things related to the temple: animals and cereals for offerings, garments, and of course the money changers to trade the various currencies people would bring from far off lands.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Some scripture scholars surmise that this market road would spill into the temple compound on occassion, and this is probably what had happened in our Gospel.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
There were too many sellers, not enough room along the street, and so they set up shop in the temple compound. A place for prayer, was overcome with business.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
And so Jesus took his time, plated a whip, and when the moment was right, he drove them out. Zeal for God's house, consumed Him.
 | 
			
		||||
2.
 | 
			
		||||
Zeal is love in action.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Zeal is the action of a lover towards their beloved.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The Trinity is a community of love, and so in the Gospel we saw the love of the Son for the Father.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
That love consumed Him, and thus He cleaned His Father's house.
 | 
			
		||||
3.
 | 
			
		||||
It is a good thing for us, to ask God to help us love Him.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
To pray daily, that He may make us love Him.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
To beg for the gift, of a deep and abiding love.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
That zeal for His house, may also consume us.
