Learning Objectives:
- Students will learn Jesus cleansed the Temple twice while he was one earth – the first time early in his ministry (John) and the second time three years later right before the Cross (Matthew, Mark and Luke).
- Students will learn Jesus does not want religious leaders to use their positions to make money off of worshippers by stealing from them or putting a heavy financial burden on them.
- Students will learn our first priority should always be to worship God, not to make money.
Interesting Facts:
- Herod had been building his temple for 46 years by the time of the first incident when Jesus cleansed the Temple. Construction continued until just a few years before it was destroyed by Rome.
- The Jewish leaders were robbing the people who could not bring animals with them to the Temple, by selling them the animals they needed for sacrifices at ridiculous prices.
