Jesus Clears the Temple
Lesson 5 – Jesus Clears the Temple
Scripture: John 2:13-25
Key Verse:
“Zeal for your house will consume me.” (John 2:17)
Introduction:
When Jesus clears the temple, we see His passion for pure worship and His authority as the Son of God. He isn’t just removing merchants; He’s calling hearts back to God.
Study Points:
Right Worship Matters: Jesus confronts anything that distracts or corrupts worship.
Jesus’ Authority: He speaks of His body as the true temple, foreshadowing His death and resurrection.
Heart Check: We, too, are called to examine our hearts — the “temple” of the Holy Spirit.
Reflection Questions:
What “tables” in your life need to be cleared to focus on God?
How can you prepare your heart to be a place of true worship?
