Holy Tuesday
Matthew 21: 12-17 - The Temple
It’s so hot today and my condition is getting worse. Not far to go now. I am going to the Temple, hoping to see one of the Elders.
I’m here now, but it’s so noisy. People are selling their wares and shouting. Lots of money is changing hands. I can see the Elders standing around the edge…perhaps I can get to them this way.
WAIT… there is something happening over there! That man is turning tables over and shouting that this is a House of Prayer. I turn to someone standing near me, “Please, who is that man?”
He replies, “It is Jesus who we have heard performs miracles and spreads the word of God.”
I, too, have heard about this man.
The Temple is in chaos. My friend says Jesus is over there healing the sick. I strain my neck to try and see what’s happening and offer up a prayer for those sick people. I know what it is like to be ill.
But, WAIT…Jesus is now leaving those people and is heading my way…
