3 Lent

"Zeal for your temple will consume me" - that is what the disciples remembered~
I love this depiction of Jesus passionately cleaning out the temple - setting God's world free to make a place of light. Elizabeth+ gave us a visual of Jesus pouring out the coins and this image shows the coins flowing over the sides of the table onto the floor. What a mess! But when we declutter we always start by making a bigger mess!
E+ left us with the following question: Shall we let Jesus in to our temple to throw out what is in the way? After all, we are God's living temple.
