Read Matthew 21: 12-17
They had celebrated and honored Him as their King. He was the Messiah, the only Son of the one true God. Now, one day later, He entered His Father's temple. But the people inside were not worshipping the Father. Instead, they used the one true God's special house to make money and become important. They dishonored the name of God. Rather than protecting the poor and sick people God loved, they robbed them in His own house. In holy anger, Jesus rebuked and drove out all those people who had mocked the name of God through their disobedient actions. And in the same temple where they were put down, the poor, sick and helpless came to Jesus to find healing through the true life He offered. They came to Jesus to be rescued.
- What is the difference between holy anger and sinful anger?
- How would it have made you feel to see Jesus angry?
- How can you honor God by caring for the poor and sick?
- Thank God for the chances He gives you to serve and obey Him.
- Praise Him by singing verse 1 and the chorus of "Trust and Obey."
"When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word, What a glory He sheds on our way! While we do His good will, He abides with us still, and with all who will trust and obey. Trust and obey, for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey."
- John H. Sammis 1887
