Jesus and the Moneychangers

Today is Wednesday of Holy Week. Last Sunday was Palm Sunday, and we remembered Jesus riding into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey. Today I'd like to talk about what happened when he got to the temple. The scripture is Matthew 21:12-17, and I'm reading from the Contemporary English Version of the Bible.

Click on the money bag to see a famous painting from Luca Giordano.

It was painted in Italy in the 1670's. It's called "Expulsion of the Moneychangers from the Temple." It is on the State Hermitage Museum website.

Here's a great song to worship with today!
