Reflections with Andy - Matthew 21: 12-17- Holy Monday

We begin our time together for Holy Week by looking at the cleansing of the Temple. This is an interesting story, and also one that can be a danger to us. We see Jesus flip tables and make a whip. It is tempting for us to run first to “that” Jesus. If we are going to be honest, very few of us have the spiritual maturity to run to flip tables. I know that I don't. But what is actually happening here? We’ll take a few minutes to talk about what the cleansing of the Temple is really about, and how this affects our prayer.
