The Holiness of the Temple

The body, the presence
Christ seeing the merchants
those defiling the space
the holiness of the Temple
a whip of cords
driving them out
those selling sacrifices
at the feet of our God
making his house a market
not a seat of worship
reclaiming the Temple
with zeal and power
with the authority of God
