SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY  John 2:12-17

¹² After this, Jesus went to the town of Capernaum with his mother, brothers, and followers. They stayed there for just a few days.¹³ When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover Feast, Jesus went to Jerusalem.¹⁴ In the Temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves. He saw others sitting at tables, exchanging different kinds of money.¹⁵ Jesus made a whip out of cords and forced all of them, both the sheep and cattle, to leave the Temple. He turned over the tables and scattered the money of those who were exchanging it. ¹⁶Then he said to those who were selling pigeons, "Take these things out of here! Don't make my Father's house a place for buying and selling!"

 ¹⁷ When this happened, the followers remembered what was written in the Scriptures: "My strong love for your Temple completely controls me."^[a]

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, we contend earnestly for the faith once for all entrusted to the saints! The opinions of people are vast and man-centered, but we choose to follow the Scriptures that teach us, Jesus is the only way to the Father, whereby we receive salvation and life forevermore. We seek to avoid evil and walk straight ahead, not going one step off the right path. By Your grace we will be found faithful. Amen.
