Jesus confronted the corruptions that had crept into the temple in his day. He quoted Isaiah’s prophetic declaration that the temple was to be a place of prayer for all nations. God doesn’t want people to treat His “house” (the church) as a hotel or museum, or like a club or restaurant. It a house – a home to be honoured and respected – of prayer, of communion with God. Jesus’ church is intended to be for encountering Him, a place of communication and spiritual communion with God.
