An intruder in God's house

Matthew 21:12-21

1. How did Jesus show judgement and grace in the Temple?

When Jesus found out that the temple has turned from a house of prayers to a den of robbers, he overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. This shows judgement in the temple.

But when the blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them, showing grace.

Matthew 24:1-2

2. Why was the Temple like the fig tree?

If the temple does not bear fruit, it will be thrown or withered away.

But if the temple has faith in the Lord, even mountains can also be moved into the seas.
