Cleansing the temple!!

Good morning everyone!!! Another fabulous and wonderful day in the LORD JESUS CHRIST!! God is good all the time, all the time God is good!! We are fast approaching the time when people begin making New Year’s Resolutions. These are interesting and I would like to talk about them. But first, let’s look at John 2:13-25, when Jesus went to the Passover in Jerusalem. This is fairly long, but please follow along. Thank you.

John 2:13-25 “And the Jews’ Passover was at hand and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, “Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.”
17 And His disciples remembered that it was written, the ZEAL of thine house hath eaten me up. Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? Jesus answered and said unto them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up,” Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body. When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had said.
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did. But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, And needed not that any should testify of man; for he knew what was in man.”

Cleansing of the temple by Jesus. First, Jesus was angered about what the temple had become. Second, He told them destroy this temple and I will rise it in three days. And Christ knew man and their shallow beliefs. (wishing to see only miracles)

Question number one: “Are you angered when the “church” (you) are degraded by actions and what is going on in churches today?”

Feedback please. Tomorrow we will be talking more about our temple and New Year’s resolutions. Love you all.

In Christ’s Love and Grace
Johnny
