Using John Eldridge's "Beautiful Outlaw" as our guide this week, we dive into Chapter 4, "Fierce Intention," exploring the passionate personality of Jesus through his temple cleansings.
• Jesus cleansed the temple twice – first early in ministry (John 2) and again during his final week (Matthew 21, Mark 11, Luke 19)
• The temple cleansing wasn't a momentary outburst but a planned, sustained demonstration of righteous anger
• Jesus carefully crafted a whip, caused stampeding animals, overturned tables, and scattered coins
• Even in his fierce intention, Jesus showed compassion by telling dove sellers to remove cages rather than harming innocent birds
• This powerful, assertive Jesus contrasts sharply with the passive, meek portrayal in many worship songs
• We cannot fully worship Jesus seeing only the Lamb and not the Lion
• We shouldn't "declaw the Lion of Judah" by ignoring passages showing his fierce side
• Being Christlike sometimes means "turning over tables" against corruption and injustice
