말씀:마가복음11:15-11:19
15그들이예루살렘에들어가니라예수께서성전에들어가사성전안에서매매하는자들을내쫓으시며돈바꾸는자들의상과비둘기파는자들의의자를둘러엎으시며
16아무나물건을가지고성전안으로지나다님을허락하지아니하시고
17이에가르쳐이르시되기록된바내집은만민이기도하는집이라칭함을받으리라고하지아니하였느냐너희는강도의소굴을만들었도다하시매
18대제사장들과서기관들이듣고예수를어떻게죽일까하고꾀하니이는무리가다그의교훈을놀랍게여기므로그를두려워함일러라
19그리고날이저물매그들이성밖으로나가더라

당초성전에서환전상과비둘기파는상인의판매를허용했던것은멀리서오는사람들이제대로예배를드릴수있도록하기위한것이었다.
그러나환전을통해막대한이익을취하며온전치못한제물을비싸게파는상인들의악덕행위가성행했고예수님은이렇게더럽혀진성전을보시고상인을좇고말씀을하셨다.
기도의집인하나님의성전이강도의소굴이되었다고하셨는데’성전’인우리의몸이라할때우리는우리자신을한번돌아보자.
우리의영이기도의집으로써깨끗한지를돌아보자.
Ifyouwanttomastertemptation,letChristmasteryou.
유혹을지배하고싶다면예수님께지배를받아라.
