Cleansing of the Temple (Matthew 21:12–17; Mark 11:15–18)
Brite Idea: Jesus loves what is right.

Jesus entered the temple and drove out the money changers and merchants who had used the temple of the Lord as a way to fill their pockets. He said to them: “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a den of robbers.” The chief priests and scribes heard this and began to search for a way to get rid of Him because they feared the impact His teaching was having on the crowds.

John 3:17 says: For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him. Jesus, in His righteousness, shows how to live life God’s way instead of our own. But He didn’t teach about sin to make people feel bad or to judge them. He did it to save them! God cares about the way we live, but He knew that there was nothing we could do on our own to be saved. Jesus came and lived the perfect life we could not live, taught us about our sin and who God really is, then paid the price for our sin on the cross so we could be saved through Him.

Monthly Memory Verse: As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Abide in My love. (John 15:9)
