Scripture Reading
Opening Prayer
Introduction
Who cleans your house?
Story - Short term rental
Review
Now in Judea (map)
Jesus’ “early Judean ministry”
Coming off of the triumphal entry
Expectation - “Attack Rome”
Reality - “attack the Jewish establishment”
Begin Exposition
Explain temple procedure
Explain importance of location
Temple illustration
Quotes Isaiah 56:7 followed by Jeremiah 7:11
Isaiah points to
The temple belongs to Jesus
The temple is to be a place of holy worship
“for all peoples” (Mark but not Matthew, Isaiah both)
Jer. points to a time where the temple is viewed with superstitious reverence
“Robbers - literally means “Nationalist Rebels”
This verse points to what the temple has become as opposed to what it is supposed to be.
The temple is supposed to be a place of worship for all peoples to come to God yet it had become a “nationalist stronghold”
By the time of Matthew writing this, the temple had been destroyed.
Jesus is now the fulfillment of the Isaiah 56 reference and he uses His temples (believers) to bring the worship of God to all nations
I.
The purpose of the temple is to facilitate worship of God
Application: As the temple, our mission involves facilitating the worship of God rather than nationalist causes
Exposition 2
The next portion of this narrative is the last healing miracle in the Gospel of Matthew.

Now, something of significance to note:
Those who were “damaged” or “unclean” such as these here were not allowed into the temple
They were not allowed to give sacrifices and they were only allowed into the court of the Gentiles.
They were only allowed there if they did not take”unclean” aids with them (Pillows, bandages, etc.)
Some Jews ewven tried to say that no crippled or disabled Jews would be part of the “congregation/Messianic battle/messianic banquet”
In contrast to these religious leaders, Jesus healed those who came to him in this condition.
II.
Jesus is the pure one who makes people pure enough to Worship God.
Application
Exposition 3
This final part of our passage contains something easy to miss.
Why were they indignant?
Not only because he attacked their system but because he accepted praise that belonged to God
Psalm 8:2
Not messianic
Applied only to God
III.
Jesus is God the Son and the only one able to save.
