13 It was nearly time for the Jewish Passover
celebration, so Jesus went to Jerusalem.14 In the
Temple area he saw merchants selling cattle,
sheep, and doves for sacrifices he also saw
dealers at tables exchanging foreign
money.15 Jesus made a whip from some ropes and
chased them all out of the Temple. He drove out
the sheep and cattle, scattered the money
changers coins over the floor, and turned over
their tables.16 Then, going over to the people
who sold doves, he told them, Get these things
out of here. Stop turning my Fathers house into
a marketplace!17 Then his disciples remembered
this prophecy from the Scriptures Passion for
Gods house will consume me.

18 But the Jewish leaders demanded, What are you
doing? If God gave you authority to do this, show
us a miraculous sign to prove it.19 All right,
Jesus replied. Destroy this temple, and in three
days I will raise it up.20 What! they
exclaimed. It has taken forty-six years to build
this Temple, and you can rebuild it in three
days?21 But when Jesus said this temple, he
meant his own body.22 After he was raised from
the dead, his disciples remembered he had said
this, and they believed both the Scriptures and
what Jesus had said. John 213-22 (NLT)

• Jesus' spirited protest entailed a rigorous
  application of existing provisions, which
  prohibited anyone from entering the Temple Mount
  with a staff, sandals or his wallet, and which
  specifically denied the right to make of the
  forecourt a 'short by-path' (M. Berachoth IX.5
  TB Berachoth 54a)." William Lane, Mark

Jesus as Prophet and Messiah

Get these things out of here. Stop turning my
Fathers house into a marketplace!

• PROPHET

13
Then the Lord you are seeking will suddenly come
to his Temple. The messenger of the covenant,
whom you look for so eagerly, is surely coming,
says the Lord of Heavens Armies.2 But who will
be able to endure it when he comes? Mal 31-2
(NLT)

Then his disciples remembered this prophecy from
the Scriptures Passion for Gods house will
consume me.Passion for your house has consumed
me, and the insults of those who insult you have
fallen on me. Psalms 699 (NLT)

• Zeal GSN2205, zelos
• The root word of zeal is zeo GSN2204 and it
  describes boiling liquids or metal that is molten
  hot. Applied to a person the word would mean
  jealousy, indignation or to burn with anger. The
  image John gives us is of our Lord (the face of
  God on earth) burning, seething with anger.

16

• Gods House
• Until the temple was built, the word Jesus used
  always refers to Gods beloved people. His
  family. The family that God had pledged to love
  and care for.

Destroy this temple, and in three days I will
raise it up.

• The word He used was egeiro, which John uses five
  times in his Gospel. Its actual meaning is "to
  wake up" and, each time the word is used, it
  refers to awaking from the dead.

Where are we cutting corners?

• What areas of our life are we allowing to go
  unexamined and not under the Lordship of Jesus?
• What habits do we need to end right now?
