START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Mark 11:17
And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
A HOUSE OF PRAYER FOR ALL NATIONS / MARK 11:17
Jesus makes it clear that God’s house was meant to be a special place where God’s people could meet with Him for prayer and worship (Luke 19:45). It must not be disrespected and corrupted by making it a center for social gatherings, selling merchandise or financial advancement. The outer court of the temple, where all of this was taking place, was called the court of the Gentiles – the only place where people of other nations who were not Jewish could gather for worship and prayer. All of the activity going on there made prayer and worship nearly impossible. So not only were the vendors taking advantage of people, but they were also literally preventing foreigners from spending time with God. This was their greatest crime. Jesus’ actions assured all people access to the place of worship.
