Luke 19:45-48
Jesus entered the temple area and proceeded to drive out those who
were selling things, saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a
house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.’” And every day
He was teaching in the temple area. The chief priests, the scribes, and
the leaders of the people, meanwhile, were seeking to put Him to death,
but they could find no way to accomplish their purpose because all the
people were hanging on His words.
Reflection:
Jesus proceeded to drive out those who were selling things.
There are
things that are proper to particular occasions or situations. A student
with an earphone of music stuck to his ear is never proper in a
classroom.
Summer shorts and undershirt may be cool, but they are not proper in
an office or a church. A disrespectful son is not proper in a home as a
useless lazy bum is not proper in a society. An ungrateful person is not
proper before God. Evil thoughts and plans are not proper for a decent
person.
Jesus has an eye for what is proper and has the courage to cleanse the temple.
Dress properly today and feel good about how you look, after donating good old clothes away.
