"But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed."
-Matthew 27:20

Today reminds us how easily people can be influenced to choose what is wrong, even when they know what is right. On Holy Monday, Jesus cleansed the temple, showing His desire to remove what is impure and restore what is holy. Yet the same people who witnessed His truth were later persuaded to reject Him. This shows how quickly hearts can change when they are not firmly rooted in God.

In our spiritual life, we are often like the crowd. We sometimes choose what is easier, more popular, or more comfortable instead of choosing Christ. Holy Monday is a reminder for us to examine our hearts and allow Jesus to cleanse what does not belong there. It calls us to choose Him and stand for what is right, even if others do not.
