This document discusses Jesus' zeal for God and his temple as demonstrated when he drove the money changers from the temple. It notes Jesus' zeal was a desire to correct wrongs so that right things may be done. It suggests the church today, as God's temple, should be careful not to fall into patterns that displease God. The document was compiled to explore Jesus' zeal as shown in John 2:13-17 and considers whether Christians should emulate his passion for God's house.

Synopsis: Jesus’s zeal for God and God’s people is memorably demonstrated when he drives those who
were making money in the temple out. Jesus’ zeal is not merely anger, but a desire to correct what is
wrong so that the right things may done. Being the temple of God today, the church must be careful that
we don’t fall into the same patterns as the Jews did.
“Let all that you do be done with love.”
