John 2:14 And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business. 15 When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers' money and overturned the tables. 16 And He said to those who sold doves, "Take these things away! Do not make My Fathers house a house of merchandise!"
I love this part of the account of Jesus' ministry. So many people think that He was just some weak, docile man (if you can call Him a man) and that He walked around like some hippie just loving and accepting every one and everything that they did, but He wasn't. Jesus spoke with and possessed the authority of the Father which gave Him dominion over all who lived. He didn't cower from anybody but told them where they were sinful. I'm not saying that we should go and point fingers at everybody for every little thing, but, if we see someone doing something that is in direct violation of God's word, aren't we responsible to make a moral judgement (not a judgement of the person, but of their actions) and tell them?
