A Tale of Two Temples

James Rochford
John 2:12-25

 Jesus felt anger at the religious leaders who were taking advantage of the people coming to worship God at the temple.  This story of Jesus cleansing the temple of the money changers can bring comfort to anyone who has ever been hurt by someone in the church.  Jesus feels anger toward anyone who hurts another person.

Cleansing the Temple

Brian Adams
John 2:13-25

The Temple was where God dwelled and where He met with man.  Jesus is the fulfillment of the purpose of the Temple.  Jesus is the union of the divine with the human.  Through Jesus, we can meet God personally.
