The Father’s House Is for Worship

Scripture: Mark 11: 15-17

And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;  And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.  And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Scripture Commentary: How would Jesus  react if he entered His Father’s House today?

Would he say this is a house of prayer or that it’s more like a bazaar?

The church does the work of the Father.   Would Jesus see the church operated more like a business?  Or is it acting as a house of God that is bringing many to salvation for the Savior?

Are we in a store selling things or are we in God’s House worshipping him?

Mark 11: 15-17 tells what reaction Jesus had when he entered his Father’s House of Worship and saw the people more interested in selling things.  So the question now is would Jesus react the same way today?
