Matthew 21:10 - 21:14
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg delves into the biblical text of Matthew 21:10-14, exploring the story of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. He notes that the occasion was likely known to the Romans, who were skittish about any Jewish uprisings. Gregg also describes how Jesus' cleansing of the temple was an act of great offense to those who saw the temple as a type of church and a house of prayer. By healing the blind and the lame, Jesus shows that the true purpose of the temple was to provide a place of spiritual healing and redemption.
