WHO HAS THE FINAL WORD

 

2033 years ago, a man named Jesus, claimed the Jerusalem Temple for God.  The Temple was a large space with a central sanctuary and ancillary buildings. Pilgrims gathered there.

Jesus made a point when he acted against the business in sacrificial animals and against levying of a fee for supplications or prayers.

The Temple was the power base of Jerusalem's top priestly families. To them Jesus was a dangerous irritant. They considered him a loose cannon. An unstable maverick, they did not want him on their turf. They hated him for drawing crowds and disrupting the trade at the Temple. They were furious towards Jesus for the disturbance he caused in their  sedentary lives.

They acted with all their might against Jesus. And we have the blessed  Easter that succeeds the cruelties and sufferings of   the Good Friday.

The Jerusalem Temple is in our midst.

The posers are, "Where is the Church headed for, today?"

"And who has the final word here, the power brokers or the affluent  or Jesus?"
