Lent 2014 day 35 by ric gustafson
Matthew 21:13- ' It's written, my house will be called a house of prayer. But you've made it a hideout for crooks'.
In the Temple, Jesus was frustrated with the greedy moneychangers. He was upset because they were stealing and lying and then making offerings to make everything better again. Those who take refuge in God's mercy and grace must devote themselves to a relationship with God. God's grace requires the responsibility of discipleship. Jesus did not come to save hypocrites. Christians in the name of Christ need to claim a life of discipleship. To do anything less cheapens the gift that Jesus gave to us.
Jesus, I pray that my discipleship honors you always.
