S – Scripture
Mark 11 v. 18 And the chief priest and the scribes heard it and sought a way to destroy him; for they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teachings.
O – Observation
Just before this, Jesus had entered Jerusalem, the Holy City, and gone to the temple and physically went crazy on the people doing business in the temple, overturned tables and drove out money changers (the people selling the animals for sacrifices. Why did he do this? Because the temple is a Holy place. Check out Leviticus 10 v. 1-3 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=leviticus+10%3A+1-3&version=NKJV
People died in Moses time when they did not respect the Holy place. Leave it to Jesus to go Boldly into people’s strongholds, and turn it upside down. The temple was the center of Jerusalem. The crown jewel. The priests and scribes were esteemed people at that time. It’s not a wonder they wanted Jesus dead.
A – Application
Do I have the courage to go into the strongholds of the world and turn it upside down for Jesus sake?
P – Prayer
Jesus, Your courage, your conviction, Send some of that stuff my way. Love Will.
