Overturned tables

Today I thought I would be concentrating on why it was not the sin of anger that Jesus had displayed in all 4 gospels when He had overturned the merchants' tables in the Temple courts. (As indicated in the Gospel of Mark 11:11,15, Jesus had already seen all the tables the night before and the following day He justifiably, and not in an angry reactionary way, had turfed the buyers and sellers out of the temple.) John, who highlights Jesus's divinity, gives us his account of this incident very early on in his gospel, as of great significance: "...stop turning my Father's House into a market! ...Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days ..." (John 2:16,19). Jesus is identifying Himself as the "temple"i and we now know what he meant about being destroyed and then resurrected three days later. Jesus is now the temple where we meet and have a relationship with God. We need no longer offer sacrifices and meet God at the temple. Apostle Paul also further tells us that as believers in Christ, as the Body of Christ, His Church, we are the temple in which God dwells. 1 Corinthians 6:19 "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honour God with your bodies". This takes me full circle to where I started today's devotional about anger. In honouring God with our bodies we are not to be angry or have any other sinful disposition. Thank God, Jesus's death on the cross saves us from the sins we have fallen into and he is our perfect role model as we aspire to honour Him more.
