What Does Matthew 21:14 Mean?

Immediately after cleansing the temple, Jesus welcomes the blind and the lame who come to Him there, and He heals every one. The courts that had been filled with trade now become a place of mercy and restoration.

This is a beautiful picture of what the temple was always meant to be. With the obstacles removed, the suffering draw near to God and find healing in His presence. Jesus does not merely clear away what is wrong; He fills the space with grace. The same Lord who confronts corruption tenderly restores the broken, showing that His authority and His compassion flow from one heart.
