Why was Jesus driving out the sellers of the temple?
The sellers were making money off of selling animals for sacrifice. People made sacrifices to atone for their sins. Why do you suppose the sellers were taking advantage of this set up?
Have you seen Christian leaders trying to make a profit off of the gospel?
Jesus came to be the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. He's sacrifice can not be bought or sold. It is a free gift to all who accept him as Lord and Savior.
Spend time in prayer thanking Jesus for giving his life for the sins you commit everyday.
