Children’s rights and Jesus of Nazareth

The man from Nazareth arrived in the big city and received a big welcome from his fans as they lined the streets and shouted hosannas, and laid their cloaks on the ground like a red carpet and everyone was asking “Who is this, a prophet from Nazareth?” “Yes,” others answered, “a great prophet from Galilee.”

The day after he arrived he went up to the temple. That was the most important and sacred place in the whole city and the world. He saw it as the holy house of God. It had been taken over by the vendors, merchants and the foreign currency traders. This is not unlike some churches and shrines today.
