Cleaning Out the Temple

July 19, 2011
All four Gospels record the story of Jesus' vigorous reaction to what was going on in the Temple at Passover time. The Synoptics place the incident at the end of His ministry, John at the beginning. Whether or not this means that Jesus repeated His actions is subject to debate, but that He did act and speak out is a subject of great importance.
References: John 2:13-25

John's objective in writing the fourth Gospel was to show conclusively that "Jesus was the Christ the Son of God," and to do it, he selected incidents that illustrated Jesus' uniqueness from the vast amount of material available. He was particularly interested in the "signs" Jesus performed, the first of which involved changing water into wine.

A casual reading of the parable of the widow and the judge might suggest that Jesus was saying if we go on asking God to do what we want, He will give in eventually and we will get our own way! A careful study of Luke 18:1-14 presents a very different picture.

Is your heart asking, "How long, O Lord"? Who or what are you waiting for? A job? A friend to be a friend? Someone to love you or for you to love back? Are you waiting for a break - or a baby? A child to say they're sorry, reconciliation, or an important prayer to be answered? Maybe you're waiting for the bullying or betrayal to stop - or lying, hating, injustice, corruption, or hurt. Or perhaps you are in a crisis of faith that needs to be resolved.

I believe in Jesus, but for so long I've been spiritually dry. I made a mistake. A bad mistake! And since then, I've been living in a desert of regrets in a dry and barren land... thirsty, thirsty, thirsty. It's been a long time since I've experienced a sense of the supernatural. I feel isolated, marginalized, full of self doubt – a failure.

We often ask, "Where is God? I look for Him, but I do not see Him. I listen for Him, but I do not hear Him." It is dark. So very dark. Not pitch black perhaps, but my life is lived in shadows. How can I find God in the shadows?

Do you feel like your world is falling apart? Where do you turn? Who can you talk to? What do you pray? You are not alone in your struggle – the writer of Psalm 46 was faced with similar challenges. Looking at that passage, Pete offers eight "pictures" of encouragement and practical help relevant for us today. This is the 9th message in Pete's 11-message series in the Psalms titled "Peace in the Puzzle."
