Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’” Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them.
Mathew 24:12-14 (NKJV)
He was kind, merciful and generous. Forgiving and giving everyone a chance even when they messed up. His level of tolerance was beyond human comprehension. He had the incredible ability of connecting with any mortal being irrespective of their status, intellect, social class, orientation and just any one. He never spoke harshly but on this one occassion, He kicked some behind!!!! He tossed over the kiosks and tables of them that turned the Church into a casino and investment place. Those that turn the pulpit into an auctioneer podium... He upstaged and exposed the leadership of the church who have lost their mission and mandate.

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Hebrews 10:31 (NKJV)
The house of the Lord will be a house of prayer, a house of worship, a mountain where spirit, soul and body connect with their Maker. Anything short of these will incur the wrath of the Lord. When men get on the wrong side of a merciful King, who will spare or show mercy? In the body of believers and our world, we must never forget our mission and who we are working for.
