Third Sunday Of Lent Year B- Cleansing The Temple

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Mar 5, 2021

Jesus is doing disruptive even violent actions here, shocking me out of my consumerist mentality. No wonder my Savior hangs on a Cross.

Whipping us into shape? “He made a whip out of cords.” John 2:15 Jesus made a whip. Making something with your hands can be therapeutic. Making a whip shows his anger did not impair his judgement. Writing an angry letter is a good way of bringing our feelings out so that we can see them. ...read more

We are blessed with the "Spirit of Glory and of God" that rests on us when we suffer for Christ. This is a message of encouragement to the Child of God who is going through trials.

In 1 Peter 4:12-19 we read that trouble is not aways such a bad thing. Peter says that we may be “overjoyed” as a result of our “painful trial.” I recently ...read more

Reflection

Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Mar 13, 2012

Jesus' cleansing of the temple graphically proclaims that the temple was no only needed. Jesus is the the temple and with the Holy Spirit in us, we become a temple. God is among his people, bringing in his kingdom.

John 2:13-22 “Reflection” INTRODUCTION I have always found the scene of Jesus cleansing the temple puzzling, if not troubling. It seems so out of character for Jesus. Certainly, he has shown anger before at the hardheartedness and judgmentalism of some people, but he has never ...read more

Talk To The Hand

Contributed by Nathan Hall on Jul 13, 2002

I think that it’s very interesting that Paul makes a striking comparison between the human body and the body of Christ. Let’s take a look.

How many of us here this morning have ever heard the old song that says, “the hip bone’s connected to the thigh bone; the thigh bone’s connected to the leg bone,” or however it goes? It talks about the human body. I can remember when I was a nursing student before I went to Bible college I had to ...read more
