Jesus made a bold statement about His messianic and divine authority by purging the Temple in Jerusalem. He declared Himself to be the unique Son of the Father. He displayed His zeal as God’s Messiah. He predicted His own resurrection. In unmistakable terms Jesus made His presence known to the religious leaders. This event may have been Jesus’ first public act in the Jerusalem as a part of His earthly ministry. The Synoptic Gospels record a purging of the Temple at the end of Jesus’ ministry, but John’s record seems to record a similar but distinct event. By purging the Temple of the merchants and moneychangers, Jesus prioritized worship over worldliness, piety over profit, God over greed. In a similar way, Jesus wants to purge our hearts of sin, restoring us to a relationship with God. His example teaches us that our zeal for revering God should supersede all other priorities in life.
