Did you know most people don't understand why Jesus was mad at the money changers?

It is a common misconception that when Jesus overturned the table of the money changers in the temple He was angry that they were selling sacrifices for profit. In fact, this is not the reason He was angry. If people took the time to understand how things were done in those days they would know that it was common practice to sell animals for the sacrifices that were made in the temple. Jesus didn't have a problem with that. He was angry because the area that the moneychangers were occupying was the only area of the temple that Gentiles were allowed to worship....Jesus wanted everyone to be able to enter the temple...not just Jews. This is another example of how Jesus loved EVERYONE, not just the Jews.
