Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. “It is written,” he said to them, “ ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”
Hiding in God’s Temple is insulting to God.
Our hiding creates commotion rather than calmness for today’s Gentiles.
