Come Ruin Everything
12 And Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all those who were selling and buying on the temple grounds, and He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves. 13 And He *said to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer’; but you are making it a den of robbers.”
14 And those who were blind and those who limped came to Him in the temple area, and He healed them. 15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that He had done, and the children who were shouting in the temple area, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they became indignant, 16 and they said to Him, “Do You hear what these children are saying?” And Jesus *said to them, “Yes. Have you never read, ‘From the mouths of infants and nursing babies You have prepared praise for Yourself’?” 17 And He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and spent the night there.
Matthew 21:12-17
Jesus wants to ruin our idea of inclusivity.
What else does Jesus want to ruin?

Matthew 21:13-16
Jesus wants to ruin our idea of what is holy.
“The fountain of your pleasure is found in the sacrifice of my shattered heart before you. You will not despise my tenderness as I bow down humbly at your feet.” Psalms 51:17 TPT
There is nothing more Holy than broken people limping their way to Jesus.
17 And He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and spent the night there. Matthew 21:17
Jesus will go anywhere but He rests where He is welcomed.
