The time had now come for the shadow to draw to an end, and for the truth, so to speak, to shine forth; even the lovely beauty of Christian conduct, and the glories of the blameless life, and the sweet rational savor of the worship in spirit and truth.
For this reason very justly did the Truth—Christ, as One who with His Father was honored in their temple—command that those things that were by the law should be carried away, such as the materials for sacrifices and burning on incense, and that the temple should manifestly be a house of prayer.
For His rebuking the dealers and driving them from the sacred courts when they were selling what was wanted for sacrifice, certainly means this, as I suppose, and this alone.
