Property
2:16 He told those who were selling the doves,
"Take these things out of here!
STOP making my Father's house a marketplace!"
John 2:13-22
What is a “Market Place?”Place where things are
bought and soldPlace where some people
become more wealthy and others become less wealthy
Place where people are seen as a source from which others get what they want
Place where people themselves become a commodity
Jesus and StoppingGod is NOT a
commodity that can be bought, sold and put in our pocket
People are NOT to used as a commodity either
The sign that I am telling the truth is…..
How do we know we can believe you?
2:22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
1. We are not to turn religious activity into a Marketplace event.
2. We won’t really believe that until we experience the death and resurrection for ourselves.
