John
2:13-22
How
dare He! He had no right at all to chase everyone out of the temple
like that! We had everything under control, and now we have to make
new arrangements! We may even lose out on some the money because some
of the merchants will refuse to come back! We need to do something
about that man!
I'm
sorry, but it is very infuriating to have one of those wandering
preachers to come along and do something like what that Jesus did.
Those folks always think that know so much more than the rest of us
do. And most of them are illiterate. They think that they have a
private pipeline to God. We do need to keep on top of things, and
having the merchants on the temple grounds simplifies things. We keep
better track on what is going on and can better deal with those who
are not doing the right things.
Also,
theft is kept down because we can police the grounds so much better.
When
somebody like this Jesus comes along, everything gets disrupted. And
He has the nerve to say something about His "Father's House"!
Now, as far as I can tell, He's as human as you or I. He's setting
Himself up to be equal to God - which is the rankest sort of heresy
that there is!
