    The Temple Incident

    Contributed by David Petticrew on Mar 16, 2003

     | 4,536 views

    Jesus actions in the temple demonstrate that we have a responsibility to reach out and not just to make things comfortable for ourselves.

    The story we read today is an interesting one. It’s one that doesn’t really fit with the picture of Jesus that we usually think about. How does a loving Jesus, who goes around teaching good morals, fit with this violent figure who disrupts a market place, stops temple worship and causes chaos. If ...read more

    Do you know what? We do the same thing. We say the same erroneous things to ourselves that the Jews did and we do not even realize it. We need to be grounded in truth with ourselves and with God.

    AT times our sin is so great that we can not forgive ourselves or love ourselves. God comes to us at these times and reminds us that God still loves us (and always will) and that God forgives the unforgiveable.

    Psalm 51 “Let God Love You” INTRODUCTION Words can be very powerful and have a great effect on our lives.

    Job 1: Job's first test. Do we devote ourselves to God because He gives us blessings, or does He give us blessings because we devote ourselves to Him?

    How do you react to devastation in your life? I think that, with most people, the worse our tragedies are, the worse our reactions will be.
