Why did Jesus clear the temple in such a dramatic manner? Why did not he try to accomplish the same thing more diplomatically?
IT was the first time we saw in Bible that Jesus got angry. The reason that makes him angry is because His Holy Temple was being misused. The house of the Lord is for worship and prayer but he saw merchants were selling and buying things. There was no time for doing in diplomatically, rather Jesus threw away all the things.

Hello friends, Jesus`s business from his childhood was preaching good news about the kingdom of God and in huminity no one would allow such athing to happen in their businesses.It`s really riduculous to find that the house of God his business by then was turned into amarket even if it was me or you in his position , we would react the sameway on our business.You cann`t find time to fix it diplomatically b`se this is business moreover God`s business.

The House of the Lord is meant for Worship and prayer!!! They were using the temple for trade and market - not for worship

Jesus was fulfilling the prophecy that his Father`s House is not a den of robbers but a House of Prayer.

worshiping and honoring God is what should be done in a house of prayer and it is dishonoring, disrespectful to use the temple for worldly idols, money, sale activities. There is no negotiating is the purpose of the house of prayer.

What the people were doing in the house of God was wrong and this would be the only way to get to pay attention.

He JESUS did it for the accomplitation of the prophesy. I want to tell you that Jesus also came to furfile what was written in the Old testament. Also to prove to people that HE is the SON OF GOD.And when He did it people respected it. It does n`t mean the people knew that this is a holy place but the devil closed there heart. Many xtians today are stiil in this mood. Being in the church and yet at the BACK seat of the HOLY GHOST. Secondly, as I said earlier they know what they are doing. For Christ to move into diplomacy with WHO? the phareses or the Gentiles, what do you think will be their respond to Jesus? that was why I personally appreciated Jesus acts based on dramatically.

Do this order for to know how serious he was, since everybody are busy doing their business if Jesus shout they may not listen so he decided to use that means so that they can listen what have to tell them and when he loose those pigeons, and throw those baskets, everybody stand up then he began to talk to them. This does not mean that he did not love them rather what they are doing. If they are wise enough they should learn from Psalm ?Let the righteous smite me; It shall be a kindness; and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be their calamities,? Psalm 141:5-6. And the Bible said ?For the kingdom of God suffered violently, and the violent take it by force

Diplomacy would not have worked in the height of such sacriledge. The people had lost respect for the House of God and needed to be reminded in no uncertain terms what it was and what it stood for. It seems to me that this contrast between Christ the diplomat and Christ the indignant man is just what the situation called for to demonstrate the seriousness of the situation.

Jesus at the Temple

Jesus entered into the temple of God, and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers' tables and the seats of those who sold the doves. He said to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a den of robbers!"
The blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them. But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the son of David!" they were indignant, and said to him, "Do you hear what these are saying?"
Jesus said to them, "Yes. Did you never read, 'Out of the mouth of babes and nursing babies you have perfected praise?'"
He left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.

Matthew 21:12-17
