cleansing 05 000 Jesus Cleans HouseToday is the Third Sunday in Lent and our Gospel reading was Jesus chasing the merchants and money changers out of the Temple in John 2.

It’s really the only text from the Gospel that show Jesus becoming truly angry, even violently so. Other places show him to be annoyed or irritated or brash, but not like this.

Zeal for God’s house consumed Him.

Today, our Sunday school kids – in conjunction with this lesson – built a model of the Second Temple. You can get them here.
