Jesus’ clearing of the temple, upsetting the money changers’ tables and driving out the livestock, was a minor theme in religious art up until the time just after the Reformation. After the Reformation, the scene was painted and requested to be painted more than at any other time. The reason for this was that the Roman Catholic church saw it as a fitting image for its decisions in the Council of Trent, a Roman Catholic council that came in response to the Reformation. 
One such post-Reformation painting of the scene came from Doménikos Theotokópoulos, better known as “El Greco,” (the Grecian). You can view the painting here: https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/el-greco-christ-driving-the-traders-from-the-temple
If you look on either side of the doorway, you’ll notice that the scene is split into two groups. On the left is the group of people that are being driven from the temple, above them on the wall you find a painting or sculpture of Adam and Eve being driven out of the Garden of Eden after their sin. On the right side, you’ll find the disciples speaking among themselves – probably saying “What on earth is He doing?!?!” while a picture of Abraham about to sacrifice Isaac looms over their heads.
El Greco meant this to be a sign of what the Roman Catholic church had to do. In his mind, the heathen protestants had to be driven out of the temple, but the Church also had to take issue with the things that were deep within itself, sacrificing certain things for the good of the Church. While we may take exception to the protestant thing, there’s maybe something to El Greco’s painting that helps us to consider our own approach to sin.
First, we should endeavor to be like Christ – cleansing the temple of our bodies of sin. This is no easy task, and certainly something that we never do completely, but it is also not something that we are to be lax about. We are not to let sin continue to keep residence in our temples – not because we are afraid of God, but rather because we recognize sin for what it is and for the harm that it does to us and to others.
But secondly, we should recognize that at the center of our story we find Christ – the one who completely drives sin away, who drives sin away on our behalf. We, like the disciples, are huddled under the sign of Abraham, the sign of a faith that God will provide a sacrifice for us. God has provided a sacrifice for us, a sacrifice that drives sin out of our bodies, not incompletely as we do, but totally and permanently in the gift of the Resurrection. Like the disciples, we simply look in awe at Jesus as He does the work of cleansing us of sin where it happens definitively, not in the temple, but on the Cross.
