Day Thirty–Six // March 30 // The Unbroken Heart of Christ “When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it but all that had gone before.” – Jacob Riis –
Jesus begins the fateful last week of His earthly sojourn by confronting a religious system that had lost its way. Matthew records the moment: “Then Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who were selling and buying in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold doves. He said to them, ‘It is written, “My house shall be called a house of prayer;” but you are making it a den of thieves’” (Matthew 21:12-13).
