Passover

1.

Today's Passage: John 2:13-25


Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.

Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).

Thank You for meeting me, LORD.
I welcome you into this place.
Please prepare my heart Jehovah.
Thank you for insight.



Jesus Clears the Temple

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 Father's house into a marketplace!"

17. Then his disciples remember this prophecy from the Scriptures: "Passion for God's 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.

Jesus and Nicodemus

23. Because of the miraculous signs Jesus did in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration, many began to trust in him.
24. But Jesus didn't trust them, because he knew human nature.
25. No one needed to tell him what mankind is really like.
John 2:13-25 NLT

    • Ask yourself what does this word mean in my life?
    • Where do I need change/growth/revelation?
  • Write this word down. Or, remember this word throughout your day.
  • Ask God to show you meaning from the passage.

I felt drawn to what I wrote and this as well.

And mankind is still who He came for, lives for and died for. And what blows me away. He returns for this mankind of destruction to wrap us up in His glory and take us home - to live forever with him - cleaned and purged into the image we were meant to be!
