Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Jesus’ Authority and Power”: In today’s Gospel, Jesus revealed His Divine Authority: in His Teachings, and in chasing the cheaters out of the Temple as it is His Father’s house of worship. But, the chief priests and scribes felt threatened. Ponder on, “We fear God, when we live a sinful life. But, we will be filled with love and great joy, if we live His Will!”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 19:45-48
Jesus went into the Temple and began driving out those who were selling. ‘According to scripture,’ he said ‘my house will be a house of prayer. But you have turned it into a robbers’ den.’
He taught in the Temple every day. The chief priests and the scribes, with the support of the leading citizens, tried to do away with him, but they did not see how they could carry this out because the people as a whole hung on his words.
