So Jesus came to Jerusalem and went into the Temple. After looking around carefully at everything, he left because it was late in the afternoon. Then he returned to Bethany with the twelve disciples. (Mark 11 :11)
When we read “ went into the temple", I understand it that being not a Levite, Jesus wasn’t permitted to enter the holy or most holy place, it is the “courts” that Jesus went in. Jesus carefully looked, he clearly saw or examined the place. Although he saw the disorder at that point he didn’t say a word until He returned next day; it was late in the afternoon. We are the temple of God..we must examine and get rid of anything within us or about us that isn’t honouring God..
Our God clearly sees all our mistakes, errs and sins. No one is immune to sin, but although He sees it, He weighs our attitude, if we confess our sins and guard our life He is merciful enough to forgive us! If we continue to sin as if God isn’t aware, then He himself might overturn tables and rebuke the disorder in our lives!! Our God is slow to anger and waits patiently before He rebukes. When we see wickedness, injustice and corruption in this world…remember Jesus is watching carefully and will return with justice!! God honours those who honours Him, if today we stand to honour Him..we will not be forsaken.
