Monday of Holy Week– Clearing of the temple – Mark 11:15-19


Below is the second of a series of Holy Week daily devotionals written by a member of our church:

The house of God, the temple had strayed from its original purpose.  The people had allowed many practices and things inside the temple that shifted their focus from The Lord.  Just as Jesus cleared the temple we need to clear our hearts of the things that take the place of trusting in God – the habits and rituals that fill our life and remove our full attention on Christ.  Let us ask God to reveal to us the things in life that shift our focus, and then with God’s help, let us drive them out and give the Lord our full attention.
