TOPIC: Revive Us Again
READ: John 2:12-25 (KJV)
12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.
13 And the Jews’ passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;
16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.
17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,
25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
THE MESSAGE:
Jesus went up to Jerusalem to attend the Passover of the Jews. He observed that people were selling animals for sacrifices and exchanging money for visitors. These people had turned the Feast of Passover into a means of doing business, making money, and feeling relevant. They were exploiting people coming to the Passover from far distances, by making them part with their hard-earned resources. This did not go down well with Jesus Christ who made a whip of cords and drove them out of the temple because they were not honouring God with their actions.

What started out as “the Lord’s Passover” (Exodus 12:11,27), had now become the Jews’ Passover”(v.13). If the Lord of the Passover made a whip of small cords in those days, He would certainly make same for this generation. Today, we have made merchandise of the grace of God, and cannot be trusted with His precious pearls. Are you part of those who steal church money entrusted to your care? Jesus will come one day for you. Do away with religion that is void of the fear of God! Arise with fervency in pursuit of God until streams of His refreshing flow over you, overwhelmingly. Ask God for self-revival today!
PRAYER:
Father, let thy kingdom come and may the fear for your Name overwhelm us.
