John 2:11,14-21 – What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was
the first of the signs through
which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him…In the
temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others
sitting at tables exchanging money. So he made a whip out of cords, and drove
all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of
the money changers and overturned their tables. To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!” His
disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”
The Jews then responded to him, “What sign can you show us to prove your
authority to do all this?” Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”
They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple,
and you are going to raise it in three days?” But the
temple he had spoken of was his body.
Psalm
69:8-9 – I am a
foreigner to my own family, a stranger to my own mother’s children;
for zeal for your house consumes me, and the insults of those who insult
you fall on me.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 – Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received
from God? You are not your own; you were
bought at a price. Therefore
honor God with your bodies.
Application:
- · Those who mock God also mock his servant who trusts in Him, as Christ also experienced.
- · Signs revealed Jesus’ glory and likely also pointed to the fullness of the salvation He came to effect.
- · Our bodies are sacred and are to be treated as sacred.
