Turning Tables
Jesus turned over tables, maybe now it’s our turn!
When Jesus turned over the tables in the temple, it was no heat-of-the-moment, emotional response to the misuse of God’s house. Throughout His time on earth, Jesus was always “turning tables”.
He turned the tables on the acceptable norm in religion and culture.
He challenged thinking, systems, structures and practice, all while showing us a different way to live – the upside-down Kingdom way!
Jesus spent His time seeking out those on the margins; those who were seen as “less than nothing” by the world. They were the ones He chose to bring into His inner circle and empower to help Him change the world.
