The most important thing
Last week, Lukas spoke about the clearing of the temple. This was, as all events recorded in John, deeply important. In this account, we see Jesus depicted as anything but shy, retiring and peaceful. He brought justice and accountability to those who would defile the temple and use religion to profit. He brought unflinching challenge to those unwelcome people who had made themselves at home in His Father’s house. He was forceful and clear in making right what was wrong. In this we get a hint at the character of God. God is perfectly holy and will always reconcile this trait by the eradication of sin and imperfection. It is clear that one day God will make all things perfect. It is inevitable and we can look forward to it, deny it, or anticipate it with dread.
