    Jesus performed seven signs in the Gospel of John; the second sign was the cleansing of the Temple.

    The Sign of Cleansing the Temple John 2: 13-25 Religious zeal was certainly a great part of Jewish culture: We saw in John 2: 1-12 that the purification rites of the Jews were held in high esteem, but exterior washings did not provide heart cleansing. The Savior changed the water into wine at ...read more

    Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Mar 9, 2015

    As Jesus enters the temple he is alarmed and begins to throw out, over turn, and displeased with the church of that day.

    What is going on in Church? John 2:13-22 That is probably the question Jesus asked himself when going to the Temple and seeing the things that were going on. What is going on in the church? Jesus doesn’t see what should be going on ...read more

    Lent 3 (B) Christ made an unfair trade, exchanging His life for our sin and guilt. Therefore, we live not in what we deserve but in His free grace and mercy.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “An unfair trade” “It’s not fair!” It’s a cry heard throughout schools, home, and playgrounds across the country. ...read more

    A SCOURGE OF SMALL CORDS. John 2:13-22. It was Passover, and the city of Jerusalem was packed with pilgrims who had gathered to commemorate Israel’s deliverance out of slavery in Egypt.

    Jesus And The Religious Leaders In The Temple

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 14, 2015
     | 3,874 views

    The fig tree looked good on the outside but it wasn’t producing any fruit. The religious leaders looked good on the outside, but they didn’t provide for the people. Jesus decreed that he would let them fade and raise up something new in their place.

    The events in John 2:18-25 occur just after Jesus has chased the moneychangers and the sellers out of the temple. The religious leaders wanted to know who gave Jesus the authority to do what he did in the temple. Jesus did not give them an answer because he knew that the religious leaders did not ...read more

    Reflection

    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

    Resurrection Sunday demonstrates that eternal light and life will ultimately win over death and darkness. Jesus used the imagery of the Temple to picture his resurrection. So let’s go there.

    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. Why don’t we call the best preacher in the state and ask him to speak." And they did and he said "No". So they said, "Well, if we can’t have the ...read more

    Jesus was a zealous man. He was passionate about God. He was passionate about God's temple, that day that He tossed out the money changers. He is passionate about His Church - We are the temple of the Holy Spirit, after all.
