About this listen

Jesus' cleansing of the temple during Passover demonstrates His righteous anger against the corruption of sacred spaces. Upon finding merchants and money changers exploiting worshippers in the temple courts, Jesus took decisive action by driving them out and overturning their tables. This wasn't a mere emotional outburst, but a calculated response to the desecration of God's house. The event teaches valuable lessons about maintaining pure worship, standing against corruption, and the importance of complete devotion to God.
