The First Cleansing

In John 2:13–25, Jesus cleanses the temple, revealing His zeal for true worship and exposing how easily God's people can drift into empty religion and self-centered devotion. This message explores how Jesus not only confronts corruption but also declares Himself to be the true temple—the only way to the Father through His death and resurrection. Ultimately, we are challenged to examine whether our faith is built on admiration of Jesus or genuine trust and surrender to Him.
