He told those who were selling doves, 

Get these things out of here! Stop turning my Father's house  into a marketplace!

And his disciples remembered that it is written: 

"Zeal for your house will consume  me."

John 2:16-17 CSB

We were made for fellowship with God, and the place for that fellowship, that communion together,  was Eden.

God has been at work on the restoration project ever since, and this is another picture of it - wanting to restore to the original design, the original purpose.

And that's what he wants for you and for me: 

To return me to Gods design for me, to be a place of fellowship with Him, to be in fellowship with Him.

To be near.

And he approaches that task with zeal, energy.

He is for us 

But if he came in divine power he would overwhelm us. He constrains his power even when cleaning up.

This last part of the clean up he simply says to the people with the doves you take some action now. 

You're part of this clean up. 

Do your part. 

Is there some clean up needed in my heart? 

Am I willing to ask Jesus to point it out?
