The Cleansing of the Temple - Eve of Monday - Father Mark Hanna by Saint Mary Coptic Orthodox Church, East Brunswick, NJ
Carmen LeBerge comments on the weekend "No Kings" rallies, and even how some who call themselves Christians reject Jesus' kingship. She then reflects on Holy Monday when King Jesus cleansing the temple and Him being rejected by the religious leaders. Dietican Rebecca Corwin, author of "Arise and Eat," looks at the foods of the Passover and how they actually point to Jesus, his life, the events of Holy Week, and what He did for us.

The Cleansing Of The Temple
Jesus enters Jerusalem as King—but instead of taking on Rome, He goes straight to the temple and confronts corruption. In this message, Pastor Lance walks through Luke 19 and shows why Jesus challenged the very place that was supposed to represent God. During one of the busiest times in Israel, the temple had become something it was never meant to be—and Jesus wasn't going to ignore it. This teaching focuses on: • Why Jesus didn't meet people's expectations • What was wrong in the temple • Why spiritual truth mattered more than political change • What it means for us to stay focused on the mission today As Jesus approached the cross, He remained fully committed to teaching, serving, and sharing the truth—right up to the very end.

What if you were one of the money changers in the Temple—doing what “everyone” said was acceptable—until Jesus showed up and flipped the tables? In this episode, Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks take a fresh angle on a familiar Gospel moment: not from the perspective of the disciples, but from the unnamed people caught in a system that slowly drifted from worship to marketplace.They unpack why the issue wasn't currency exchange itself, but desecrating the Temple—turning God's house into a commercial space. Then Father adds a deeper layer: the money changers were set up in the courtyard of the Gentiles, a space meant to welcome non-Jews who were being drawn toward God. Clearing it wasn't only a moral correction; it carried a prophetic message—God's salvation is universal, and room must be made for the nations.The conversation becomes a practical mirror for modern life: how groupthink, incentives, and “location, location, location” logic can normalize behavior we'd question if we had fresh eyes—and why we need Scripture and the Church to “air out” the room when we've stopped noticing the stench.Key IdeasThe practice (currency exchange / selling offerings) wasn't intrinsically evil; the sin was turning sacred space into a marketplace.Corruption often happens gradually: you stop noticing it from the inside (“stench in the room” analogy).Groupthink can normalize what individuals might resist alone—especially when money and institutional approval are involved.The courtyard of the Gentiles matters: Jesus' action also signals the universal mission—making room for those outside.A helpful self-audit: where am I “going with the flow” in ways that would change if God overturned the tables in my world?Scripture Mentioned (no links)Matthew 21:12–13 / Mark 11:15–17 / Luke 19:45–46 / John 2:13–22 (Temple cleansing accounts)Acts 10 (Cornelius)Jeremiah 31 (new covenant referenced)Links & References (official/source only)Dr. Jordan B.

11-9-2025 - Fr. Steven Hoffman - Cleansing of the Temple by Church of St. Peter
Most of us are quite familiar with the biblical story of Jesus cleansing the Temple. No business allowed. Only worship. This is certainly true, but there is also another interesting perspective that relates to the prophesy of the Church found in the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel. The free flowing of grace from the Church is vital to the transmission and transformation of life.

Jesus doesn't just cleanse the temple—He calls out empty religion at its roots. In Mark 11:15–21, we see Him flip tables, quote the prophets, and pronounce judgment on a system that looked alive but was fruitless. This week, Pastor Korey reminds us that God's house is meant to be a house of prayer—and now, through Christ, we are His temple, called to live holy and bear real fruit.

We say that Jesus "cleansed" the Temple, but how? What did his actions even mean? Why did he cause such a disturbance? Did he lose his temper or were his actions a symbolic commentary on the purpose, function, and attitude toward the Temple by his contemporaries?

When we read about Jesus cleansing the Temple of moneychangers we can see how the Lord desires the Church to be first a house of worship. But we also read in Scripture that our bodies are temples as well, temples of the Holy Spirit. So we need to periodically cleanse our own temples to properly prepare ourselves for worship of the Lord.
