Lessons from the gosple
•The temple is not a place for buying and saling,gossip,back bitting chatting etc cause by doing this we are making the temple unholy.
•When jesus said he will rise the temple in 3 days he was not refering to a structural physical temple but his body. I.e Everyone of us in christ ,Our body's are temple of the lord
•We should respect the temple cause it an holy place for worship
•The temple is not a place auditorium,theater or a place for social meeting
•Just has jesus sent those traders out of the temple we should also send away bad behaviours ,attitudes that are not of God from our body's temple
•The lenting season is a season of purification,washing ,cleaning of our self from sins and keeping our body's temple holy
