Day 2 - Cleansing the Temple

Today's Reading:
Matthew 21:12-17

 12 ¶ And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

  13 And said unto them, It is written, My ^ahouse shall be called the house of ^bprayer; but ye have made it a ^cden of thieves.

  14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.

  15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the ^achildren crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased,

  16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

  17 ¶ And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.

Discussion:

We will be discussing the progressions of the temple cleansing as it applies to our own lives: purging, learning, receiving blessings (healing), and praising. We will also be spending some time talking about how Christ would feel in our home. Tonight's FHE activity will be to pick up and clean some of the house to prepare for the Easter week ahead. 

We'll be reading this story- "The Rich Family in Our Church"
