Open to a Fresh Revelation of God

Printable version of this week’s devotional
Read John 2:13-16. The sale of animals and changing of foreign money was necessary if people were to worship at the temple.  But the court of the Gentiles was so crowded that worshippers would have had difficulty entering.   Jesus poses a powerful challenge to the very authority of the temple and its worship.  Where does the business of religion along with rules, regulations and tradition take priority over the purpose of worship itself?  Are we still open to a fresh revelation of God in our lives? What is most important is that worship points us to God, transforms our hearts and changes our lives.
