"Protect this House” A FATHER PROTECTS
BI: A man of God takes the steps necessary to do what must be done to preserve the House of God.
We look today at Jesus actions in the temple as recorded in John 2
**The divine presence manifested in the Jerusalem temple played a central role in Israel’s life and worship.
The temple was built on the site of a threshing floor that King David purchased from Araunah the Jebusite (2 Sam 24:18–25).
The threshing floor was located on Mount Moriah, where Abraham almost sacrificed Isaac (Gen 22:1–14; 2 Chr 3:1).1
WIGOH: (what is going on here?)
1: What is the issue he is attacking: Explain the circumstances and why he has an issue with this is there a historical issue?
Money is being changed due to multiple currencies in the empire
Inflation of Silver in Roman currency means that out of town guests have to “pay the exchange rate to cover the temple tax”
People have travelled some distance, and are obligated to pay the tax, and then purchase items for sacrifice, they must be unblemished and keeping them way on a long journey is complicated
They have taken what is a good thing, and made it the primary thing.
HOW Jesus Responds
Jesus Person Replaces the Structure of Temple itself:
Jesus makes this fight personal, its against his Father, but it also shows the high dependence on the structure and function of the temple while missing the point.
Jesus removes what he sees of as impurity in that Temple, and inhabits the space himself.
He takes on those things that keep people from worshipping God.
Its not an attack ON anyone, it is a POSITION AGAINST that which keeps men from free access to God
Jesus deals forcefully with the issues on behalf of his Father, it is HONOR he is concerned with in this instance
Psalm 69 is quoted, because it is personal.
His house, hid fathers house, his body feels the defilement because he is invested in the temple?
How do you feel when Gods house is dishonored, desecrated, left abandoned.
Did this actions change them?
Perhaps not, but it still needed to be taken.
We don’t have Jesus patience.
,but the indignation should be in the heart of every man of God.
HEAL THE SICK: A FATHER HEALS HIS CHILDREN
Parallel Text in Matthews Gospel
Matthew 21:12 IMPORTANT NOTE: the blind and lame still felt that they could approach him.
Matthew 21:18 may be Jesus commentary on what he has seen
THE significance of this “cleansing” ritual for Jesus at this time in his ministry
Jesus cleanses the wedding feast, using cleansing jars to make wine to “go inside” a man.
Jesus cleanses the temple of impurity
Jesus cleanses the blind and the lame by healing them.
The motive is about cleansing, making one acceptable again to GOD
How this is impacted by the immediate previous context of the cleansing of the water jars, they were for cleansing, so he, by law has to use them for a clean purpose.
Equally offending all, those who invented the practice and those who took advantage of it.
The entire business was upset, folks had to basically stop the wagon for the better part of the day.
The outer court.
(Show a Map)
Jesus is not inciting violence for the sake of violence: ACESS to God has been disturbed:
Juxtaposition of Jesus body and the temple as the body.
God lived in the temple, people gathered there but it was gods house on earth, before Jesus.
So God comes to his own house and finds it looking like Wal Mart not like a place of worship.
His Body will rise, so he is saying his risen body will replace the temple, that shall never be re-built.
“I am” the temple that cannot be destroyed.
Gods house is not clean, so I will clean it, on Passover.
Passover celebrates release from bondage.
The temple should also be released from it bondage?
There does seem to be a connection between the TEMPLE house and Jesus body as the house
RESPECT THIS HOUSE
Jesus POV, his heart, we are given his motivation by the texts he quotes AND by what the disciples translate after the fact.
PROTECT THIS HOUSE; DO WHAT IS NECESSARY, NOT JUST WHAT IS CONVENIENT.
PROTECT THE WEAK; ACT IN SUCH A WAY THAT EVERYONE CAN APPROACH GOD.
