Luke 19

"47 And He was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people sought to destroy Him, 48 and were unable to do anything; for all the people were very attentive to hear Him."

This is quite interesting. It seems that a stranger (Jesus) from nowhere has come and taken over their turf. No wonder the chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people wanted to destroy Jesus. They feel that their authority was taken away by a nobody. Jesus wasn't a priest, nor scribe, nor a known leader with a title. But yet, He taught in the temple daily as if He owned it. Of course physically speaking, Jesus does not "own" the temple or has control over it. However, spiritually, the body of Jesus is the church. Today, we will not see Jesus in person, but we will see people who come to speak the Word of God. These people may not have control over the church because they are not in the local church counsel, but as long as they speak the word of God, it should not matter if they are not from the local church. Then we will not have bad feelings thinking that these people are taking over the local churches' turf.
