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

The Indestructible Temple 1. Because Easter is such an important day, our elders met and decided, "You know, we want to get a really special speaker.

Jesus anger wasn’t about selling things; it was about the evil vendors preying upon the innocent. When barriers go up relationship is broken.
