Day 2: “The House of Prayer” (Matthew 21:13)
Have you ever struggled to feel peace amid the chaos and noise around you? When Jesus Christ entered the temple, it was full of commerce and noise instead of holiness and peace. He drove out the merchants there, preparing the temple as a holy place. He can do the same for us. Because of Christ’s atoning sacrifice, we can find holiness and peace as we strive to remove sin and distraction from our lives.
