Bible Verse of the Day:
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. 13 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’[e] but you are making it ‘a den of robbers, Matthew 21:12-13.
Biblical Connection:
Classroom management in public education has dissolved over the past 40 years. Today, cell phones have replaced food as one of the biggest distractions to learning. Yet, Mr. Hand uses logic to quickly regain control of his history class. Using the words of Spicoli against him, Mr. Hand outwits this class clown by giving away every slice of his pizza.
After experiencing Palm Sunday, Jesus understood that his days on earth were coming to an end. After avoiding trips to Jerusalem prior to Passion Week, knowing the religious leaders plot to kill Him, Jesus verbally confronts corrupt leaders. As Jesus sought to regain spiritual control of the temple, this one act ensured His own death on a cross.
Closing Song:
In this era of narcissism, if you rub a person in power the wrong way, they’ll come at you hard to get revenge. If the people in charge of an organization are oblivious to these attempts, chaos will ensue. This is where Peter’s advice in 1 Peter 4:16 comes in handy, doing what’s right in God’s eyes.
