Spiritual Spring Cleaning

In Jesus' day, when visitors came to the Temple they were able to purchase animals or doves to offer as sacrifices. Because the Jews considered Roman coinage bearing Caesar’s head as idolatrous, they were given the opportunity to exchange their Roman coins for Temple coinage. The idea was originally a good one, but the   moneylenders were operating an unfair exchange rate for overpriced animals. What had started out as a good idea had turned into an abuse. ….. and this in God’s name! Was it any wonder that Jesus was so angry, angry enough to take a whip and drive out the traders!
