five3challenge: John 2 (Part 2)

Jesus was a crazy guy sometimes:

John 2:14 In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. 15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.


I think that we miss this in the church very often. I mean think about it... He made a whip and drove the hypocritical religious leaders out of the building...

Sometimes we try to tame Jesus down so that we feel more safe and secure... sometimes we do it to try to control others... But I think we serve a wild God who is passionate in his love for people and sinners... so passionate that sometimes he appropriately grabs the whip to make his point.


When was the last time you were so outraged about some injustice that you actually did something about it?
