Jesus Math

Passage: John 2:13-22 NRSV
Service Type:

Jesus saw injustice being done in God’s name and God’s house—money changers and people selling animals for temple sacrifice were notorious for ripping people off in the name of religion. This is one of the places in scripture where we see Jesus truly angry, displaying the fullness of his human emotion. In John’s gospel, we see his passion for justice clearly. We are called to have the same kind of conviction that drives our actions, to put our faith into practice to make real change in the world that will benefit others.
