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.

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.
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
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.
