Jesus Comes to the Temple

image\bible_persp9.gif

When Jesus entered the Temple in Jerusalem he was very aware of what was going on around Him. To Him the Temple was the House of God, a place of prayer and celebration. The Temple was quite an achievement of Herod the Great to impress the Jews with a grand renovation of the Second Temple, and to impress the Romans with the finest architecture in the western portion of the Roman Empire. But Jesus was not impressed with external monuments, and the work of men's hands. The Temple was the holiest place in the world because God swore an oath that His Presence would dwell there, and that the atonement of man's sins would take place there. The original Temple was built on Mount Moriah in the very place that King David, the man after God's own heart, who wrote the book of Psalms, purchased the threshing floor from Auranah. David had sought to build the Temple, but God told him that because he was a man of war, his son Solomon would build the Temple. Solomon was a man of peace, and his wisdom was known throughout the entire world. He built the Temple on Mount Moriah at the eastern side of Jerusalem.
