A Clear Path to God

Matthew 21:12-13 NIV
[12] Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. [13] “It is written,” he said to them, “ ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”

A Clear Path to God

In one of the most dramatic moments in Matthew 21, after His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, Jesus flips tables, scatters money, and sets animals free in the Temple courts. His anger wasn’t impulsive—it was righteous. He saw people being robbed in two devastating ways.

First, merchants sold animals for sacrifice at outrageous prices, exploiting travelers with inflated exchange rates. It was blatant financial robbery.

But the deeper theft was spiritual. Those who couldn’t afford the inflated costs were excluded from worship, left without the opportunity to pray and connect with God. The merchants and the religious leaders who enabled them had filled the Temple with obstacles, barring access to God’s presence for the poor and vulnerable.

Jesus’ response was decisive: “Enough.” He cleared the Temple to remove every man-made barrier between people and God.

This act wasn’t just for that moment; it’s a truth for us today. Through Jesus, every obstacle between us and God has been torn down. The price has been paid, the path cleared, and the invitation extended.

No matter who you are or what you’ve done, there’s nothing blocking your way to God. As we celebrate the good friday today, commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus and his death at calvary. You must know that in Jesus, a great clearing has been made. Let’s step into his house of prayer with gratitude, knowing his doors are wide open for us all.

Confession:
God, thank You for removing every barrier between us through Jesus. Cleanse my heart of anything that hinders my worship or draws me away from You. Help me to approach You with gratitude and trust, knowing Your presence is open to me. Make my life a house of prayer. Amen.

    MY HOUSE WILL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER,’

    I LOVE THIS, WHEN JESUS IS SAYING HIS HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER, HE IS NOT ONLY TALKING ABOUT THE TEMPLES BUILT BY MEN, HE IS ALSO TALKING ABOUT OUR BODY, WHICH IS THE TEMPLE OF GOD.

    I ALSO DEDICATE MY HOME TO BE A HOUSE OF PRAYER. THANK YOU JESUS.
    HALLELUJAH.

    I GIVE MY BODY AWAY TO JESUS TO BE USED AS A VESSEL OF PRAYER, WHERE THE HOLY SPIRIT DWELLS. HE MUST ABIDE IN ME AND I IN HIM.
