*What Jesus Was Really Angry About in the Temple (Most People Miss This) | Isaiah 56:6-7 | 5-Min Daily Devotional | Monday 30 March 2026*

_Most people think Jesus cleared the temple because of dodgy money changers. But there's a detail almost everyone misses - and when you see it, it changes everything._

In this Holy Week devotional, we look at what actually happened on the Monday of Holy Week - and why Jesus was so furious that day in the Court of the Gentiles.

This isn't just a story about bad behaviour in a holy place. It's a story about a door that had been blocked - and a God who was determined to open it again.
📖 _Scriptures referenced: Isaiah 56:6-7 | Jeremiah 7 | Mark 11_

_Is anything in your life blocking the door for someone else to encounter God?_

That's the question this Monday of Holy Week brings to all of us - at home, at work, in our neighbourhoods, in our churches.

Tomorrow we look at one of the most quietly haunting things Jesus ever said - a man gets closer to the Kingdom of God than almost anyone in the Gospels, and Jesus looks at him and says: _"You are not far... but not in."_

Stay with me throughout Holy Week. This is the most extraordinary week in human history.
