The Shepherd, by Greg OlsonLuke 19:45-48
And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold, 46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers.”
47 And he was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people were seeking to destroy him, 48 but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were hanging on his words.
Jesus said that we, in our bodies, are the Temple
1 Corinthians 6:19
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own
Jesus went into the Temple at least 26 times, recorded in the Gospels; And Jesus entered Synagogues at least 12 times. Every day, Jesus acknowledged mercy over sacrifice.
Mark 10:27
Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."
Matthew 5:14
You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.
Philippians 2:1-11
So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love,
any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy,
2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love,
being in full accord and of one mind.
3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.
4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
9 Therefore God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
What will we accomplish? We won't save the world. Only Jesus, God's Son has Salvation. We accomplish God's Will by prayer and following His Word. We accomplish this by Believing in the Grace of God, we do the work to Believe the One He has Sent. Jesus the Lord.
What does God want from us? Mercy over sacrifice.
Micah 6:8
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God
Proverbs 21:3
To do righteousness and justice is more desirable to the LORD than sacrifice.
Ecclesiastes 12:13
When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this:
Fear God and keep His commandments,
because this is the whole duty of man.
Isaiah 56:1
This is what the LORD says: "Maintain justice and do what is right, for My salvation is coming soon, and My righteousness will be revealed.
Psalm 73:28
For me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge,
that I may tell of all Your Works.
Abba, Father,
Jesus has become our wisdom sent from God, our righteousness, our Spirit of counsel and strength, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD, until the redemption of those who are God's possession, to the praise of His glory.
Blessed be God our strength and redemption.

Micah 4
Revised Standard Version
In days to come
the mountain of the Lord’s house
shall be established as the highest of the mountains,
and shall be raised up above the hills.
Peoples shall stream to it,
2 and many nations shall come and say:
‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob;
that he may teach us his ways
and that we may walk in his paths.’
For out of Zion shall go forth instruction,
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
3 He shall judge between many peoples,
and shall arbitrate between strong nations far away;
they shall beat their swords into plow shares,
and their spears into pruning-hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war anymore;
4 but they shall all sit under their own vines and under their own fig trees,
and no one shall make them afraid;
for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.
5 For all the peoples walk,
each in the name of its god,
we will walk in the Name of the Lord our God
forever and ever.
6 On that day, says the Lord,
I will assemble the lame
and gather those who have been driven away,
and those whom I have afflicted.
7 The lame I will make the remnant,
and those who were cast off, a strong nation;
and the Lord will reign over them in Mount Zion
now and for evermore.
8 And you, O tower of the flock,
hill of daughter Zion,
to you it shall come,
the former dominion shall come,
the sovereignty of daughter Jerusalem.
9 Now why do you cry aloud?
Is there no king in you?
Has your counselor perished,
that pangs have seized you like a woman in labor?
10 Writhe and groan, O daughter Zion,
like a woman in labor;
for now you shall go forth from the city
and camp in the open country;
you shall go to Babylon.
There you shall be rescued,
there the Lord will redeem you
from the hands of your enemies.
11 Now many nations
are assembled against you,
saying, ‘Let her be profaned,
and let our eyes gaze upon Zion.’
12 But they do not know
the thoughts of the Lord
they do not understand His Plan,
that He has gathered them as sheaves to the threshing-floor.
Arise and thresh,
O daughter Zion,
for I will make your horn iron
and your hoofs bronze;
you shall beat in pieces many peoples,
and shall devote their gain to the Lord,
their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth.
John 9:3.4
while it is daytime,
we must do the works of Him who sent Me.
We hold
these truths
to be self-evident.
All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
