The Journey Through
Monday of Holy Week | April 14
Theme: What He Walked Through… and What We Walk Through Now
“Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves.”
—Matthew 21:12 (NIV)
✨ Reflection and Insight
There was no sermon that day—only movement.
No parable—just power.
Jesus didn’t just speak truth. He embodied it.
He walked into the temple, the sacred space meant for worship and prayer…
and found it filled with greed, exploitation, and noise.
And He turned over the tables.
He didn’t flip them out of rage.
He flipped them out of righteous love—
because anything that stands in the way of sacred connection deserves to be shaken.
What He did wasn’t disorder.
It was restoration.
This wasn’t a moment of losing control.
This was the clearest picture of what holy disruption looks like.
đź’Ą The Everyday Parallel
Sometimes we have to turn over our own tables.
The ones we’ve been sitting at too long.
The ones that are comfortable but corrupted.
The ones that make us feel included but compromise our values.
Sometimes love looks like confrontation.
Like a voice that says, “This is not okay. Not in this house. Not in this heart.”
Have you ever had to disturb the peace in order to keep your integrity?
Jesus shows us that peacemaking is not the same as peacekeeping.
And that truth sometimes needs to speak with thunder.
đź’ Personal Reflection
There are things I’ve tolerated too long—
Patterns. Performances. Places that looked sacred but left me feeling spiritually spent.
And the Spirit whispers: “Turn over the table.”
I used to think disruption was a bad thing.
Now I see—some things can’t be healed until they’re overturned.
Jesus wasn’t afraid to be disruptive in love.
And I don’t have to be either.
🙏🏾 Invitation for Reflection
What in your life needs to be disrupted—not out of anger, but out of alignment?
What have you been protecting that’s actually been preventing your healing?
This Monday, ask yourself:
Where is God asking you to turn something over so He can turn something new around?
You don’t have to scream.
You don’t have to rage.
But you can move with bold, sacred authority.
Just like He did.
🎶 Musical Moment
Song: “Break Every Chain” by Tasha Cobbs Leonard
There is power—in the name of Jesus—to break every chain.
When this song plays, I don’t just hear it—I feel it.
It’s not about volume. It’s about authority.
This is the sound of tables turning.
The sound of freedom being announced in the spiritual realm.
And sometimes, your breakthrough begins not in stillness—but in sacred disruption.
