JESUS CARRIES A BIG STICK

For my entry in the New Testament portion of the Biblical Proportions Show, I chose the scene of Jesus' expression of anger when he drives the moneychangers from the temple.  His vigilante moment - by overturning tables and bird cages, and demanding respect for something other than money - always excited me as a kid when I heard the story read aloud growing up in Catholic Church.
