Luke 19:45-46  New International Version (NIV)

Jesus at the Temple

45 When Jesus entered the temple courts, he began to drive out those who were selling. 46 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be a house of prayer’[a]; but you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’[b]”

Footnotes:

  1. Luke 19:46 Isaiah 56:7
  2. Luke 19:46 Jer. 7:11

Jesus wanted to see people worshipping God in spirit and in truth in the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. He was sad to see commerce going on in the Temple.

Let us think about our attitude to money and especially fundraising in the church.

LUKA 19:45-46

45 Akaingia hekaluni, akaanza kuwatoa wale waliokuwa wakifanya biashara, 
46 akiwaambia, Imeandikwa, Nyumba yangu itakuwa nyumba ya sala; lakini ninyi mmeifanya kuwa pango la wanyang'anyi. 
 

Yesu alikasirika kuona Hekalu la Mungu kule Yerusalemu likitumiwa vibaya kwa ajili ya biashara. Utulivu na uchaji wa ibada uliharibiwa na bishara ilifanyika hekaluni.

Tuangalie vizuri utaratibu na minada na uchangiaji fedha na uuzaji wa vitabu na kanda kanisani usiharibu uchaji wa ibada.
