Monday of Holy Week

Hold a coin and read Mark 11:15-19
The temple was a special, sacred place.

A place where God dwelt.
A place where people worshipped and honoured God.

Jesus turned up at the temple in Jerusalem
and saw a different use of his Father's sacred place.
The temple had become a marketplace.

Instead of people worshipping,
they were wheeling and dealing.

Just as the temple was designed for worship of God,
we were created to worship and honour God.

How are you doing?

Think about your own life.
Are you loving and honouring God with your life,
in your everyday?
What would Jesus say if he were to arrive
in the living room of your life?

Pray: If we have used your house
for our purposes as if you did not mind,
or it did not matter

Lord, forgive us.
God, help our lives
to be always honouring to you.
