Pericope: Matthew 21:12–17 ESV - Matthew 21:12-1712 And

Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought

in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-

changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. 13 He said to

them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’

but you make it a den of robbers.” 14 And the blind and the lame

came to him in the temple, and he healed them. 15 But when the

chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did,

and the children crying out in the temple, “Hosanna to the Son of

David!” they were indignant, 16 and they said to him, “Do you

hear what these are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes; have

you never read, “‘Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies

you have prepared praise’?” 17 And leaving them, he went out of

the city to Bethany and lodged there.

joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and sacrifices,

will be accepted on my altar for my house, shall be called a house

of prayer for all people.

Point 1: Jesus makes a way out of no way - Verse 14 And the

blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed

them.

Luke 14: 21(b)Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city

and bring in the poor and crippled and blind and lame. (22)

…what you commanded we have done and still there is room,

(23) “Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and

country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will

be full.

John 12:2, 9 Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha

served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with

him. 9 Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews found out that Jesus

was there and came, not only because of him but also to see

Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

Matthew 25:41–46 - Matthew 25:41-46 41 “Then he will say to

those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the

eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was

hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you

gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not

invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was

sick and in prison and you did not look after me.44 “They also will

answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger

or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’45

“He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of

the least of these, you did not do for me.’46 “Then they will go

away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

Point 2: Jesus said they…Cry out verse 15…the children crying

out in the temple, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were

indignant,

prepared praise’?”

Point 3: Get Out vs. 15 they were indignant… Verse 12 And

Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought

in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-

changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. verse 13…

But you made it a den of robbers.

Read verse 12 again. And Jesus entered the temple and drove

out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the

tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold

pigeons.

Now what Jesus quoted was Jeremiah 7:11 -11 Has this house,

which bears my Name, become a den of robbers to you? But I

have been watching! declares the Lord.

verse 12 goes on to say “Go now to the place in Shiloh where I

first made a dwelling for my Name and see what I did to it

because of the wickedness of my people Israel.
