Day 4: With Jesus as He Cleanses the Temple

Jesus overturns the tables of the moneychangers in the temple, a place meant for prayer for all nations that had become a marketplace exploiting the poor. Today's step invited us to imagine ourselves in the crowd and consider what Jesus was feeling.

Community discussion question:

Jesus will not tolerate actions that keep people from worshipping God. In your difficulty, have systems or people prevented you from connecting with God? How might those experiences help you enter into Jesus' actions in the temple?
