THE THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT

The
Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the
temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the
money-changers at their business. And making a whip of cords, he drove
them all, with the sheep and oxen, out of the temple; and he poured out the
coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. And he told those
who sold the pigeons, "Take these things away; you shall not make my
Father's house a house of trade." His disciples remembered that it
was written, "Zeal for thy house will consume me." The Jews then
said to him, "What sign have you to show us for doing this?" Jesus
answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it
up." The Jews then said, "It has taken forty-six years to build
this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?" But he spoke of
the temple of his body. When therefore he was raised from the dead, his
disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and
the word which Jesus had spoken. Now when he was in Jerusalem at the
Passover feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs which he did; but
Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men and needed no
one to bear witness of man; for he himself knew what was in man.
John
2:13-25

I love that Jesus stood up to men in power. That He stood tall against the power-hungry nature of men. And the prophetic "3 days" touches heart and soul.
ReplyDeleteI am so grateful for this beautiful community of Seekerille. For the strngth and the prayers and the blessings we share. Debby, thank you for sharing this.
Knowing that Lent doesn't end on Good Friday but blossoms triumphantly on Easter Sunday makes this one of my favorite times of year. God is good!
And we are blessed.

DeleteYou're right, Ruthy. We are blessed!
ReplyDeleteI recently read about the extra fees the Temple moneychangers charged to those coming to offer sacrifice. The animals sold there, as well, were so much more expensive than could be purchased outside the Temple. But, of course, those "outside" animals could not be used for sacrifice. Only the more expensive Temple-approved creatures could be offered. No wonder Jesus was mad. I'm sure he's upset with many of the practices we see today. The cover ups, the attack on truth and on the church! The hearts of men harbored evil in Biblical days, and that same evil continues today as well. God, help us!
