Flipping Tables and Making It Nice
On this podcast episode, Yemi and Philia discuss the miracle Jesus performed when he healed the blind and lame in the temple courts (Matthew 21:12-17). In this miracle story, we see Jesus enter the house of God, become angry with what he sees and then flipping the money changing tables before healing those brought to him. Even in his rebuke of the people disrespecting the house of the Lord, he still finds time to heal. Jesus shows judgment and redemption within seconds. He shows us that no matter what we may do in this life, he always has love and mercy for us. This is the sacrifice given for us, the gift of Jesus. He was bruised for our iniquities so that we can have redemption. Now is the time to ask for forgiveness and give forgiveness freely.
