Jesus Cleanses the Temple

Sermon Notes

Setting: Passover, Jerusalem is buzzing with activity

Jesus was fully God and fully man. He sympathizes with our weaknesses and prayed to God just as we do.

Newton’s 3rd law: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction 

Jesus' 3 actions:

Action #1: He entered the temple
Reaction #1: A heart transformation; Jesus goes to the heart of their worship straight away

Action #2: He drove out those who sold
Reaction #2: Submission to divine authority

Action #3: Teaching daily in the temple
Reaction #3: Faithful focus to the mission of the gospel
