Church is house of prayer

Luke 19:28-48

Jesus was put on the colt. As he went along road goes down the Mount of Olives. Crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices.

Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!

Jesus prophets the city of Jerusalem will fall down and be attacked.

My house will be a house of prayer; but you have made it a den of robbers.

Jesus was teaching at the temple. But the chief priests, teachers of the law and the leaders among the people were trying to kill him. 
The purging of the Temple, Mark says, was the next day. Jesus returned each day holding people spellbound with his teaching, to the frustration of those who wanted him silenced for ever.

Why?

Jesus rides into city on an ass (colt), not a war-horse, he comes on a peace mission. He shows tender and peace images. He is the king of all world, but does not like other kings in the world.

His disciple thought their teacher will be a leader among Israel, they will have some benefit of power.

Church is built for prayer and it is not for commercial business.

Chief priests, teachers of the law and the leaders are familiar with the law of Moses, but they didn’t know the real meaning of the word of God. They obey the wording of God. They lack the love and mercy, and they didn’t know the savior Jesus.  So as many people don’t know Jesus is their Savior.

The kernel of Chistian is Love

How?

Jesus is the king of kings, Jesus is my Savior, Jesus is the only hope to everyone in the world.

Be careful when study more on words of Bible and forsake the love of God to people.
