and to those who were selling the doves He said, “Take these things away; stop making My Father’s house a place of business.” John 2:16

Before the Passover Jesus went to the temple and cleansed it from the evil that was being performed there. Instead of people coming to the Temple to worship God and offer a sacrifice for their sins, they were making a profit in Gods name. Today we see this all throughout Christianity. People are making millions of dollars in the name of Jesus with no real motive to serve or worship God. Its time to “Cleanse the Temple”!

And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables; John 2:15

Jesus didn’t go to the temple and ask them would you please stop blaspheming Gods name. Jesus went in and took care of business, many try to portray Jesus as some hippy who just traveled around giving hugs. No Jesus came for justice and righteousness, evil won’t be tolerated in Gods Kingdom

Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 1 Corinthians 3:16

Just as Jesus was cleansing Gods temple for Passover, its time for us to cleansing our Temples (us) for Christs return! Get rid of any sin or immoral behavior, Jesus is coming again and hes not going to apologize!

Christian Churches you need to “Cleanse your Temples” also, get rid of any blasphemy or evil that has invaded the Church, Judgement is coming! If you know its wrong, call it out! Cleanse your Temple in Jesus Name Amen!

“Behold, the former things have come to pass, Now I declare new things; Before they spring forth I proclaim them to you.” Isaiah 42:9

We always have Hope, because of Jesus Christ! Currently this world looks dreadful. There is a lot of suffering and death. However these “Former Things” will come to pass! God is making all things new through his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ

Sing to the LORD a new song, Sing His praise from the end of the earth! You who go down to the sea, and all that is in it. You islands, and those who dwell on them. Isaiah 42:10

It goes on to say “Sing to God a New Song” meaning this is no reason to dwell or complain about your current condition. This world is broken and evil, this is why we need a Savior! However if you truly believe and trust in Christ, Sing a New Song! Not a song of worry and defeat because Christ has overcome the world

And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And He said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” Revelation 21:5

Jesus confirms He is making all things New! Just as God promised with the New Heaven and Earth, where there will be no more mourning, pain, or death. God is making all things new because the former things have passed away! God is declaring New Things in Jesus Name Amen!

Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” John 1:46

Picture This, “We found the Messiah”! (John 1:41) Andrew declared this to Peter, who are brothers. Think about the significance of this. The Jewish people have long awaited for the Messiah (Christ) for thousands of years! Even since the beginning in the book of Genesis, the Messiah was declared

And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel.” (Genesis 3:15)

This was the moment of fulfillment, God even sent a messenger (John the Baptist) who was prophesied by Isaiah to declare the coming of the Messiah. Men were leaving their careers and families behind to follow the promised Messiah

Philip declared to Nathanael “We have found the Messiah” (John 1:45) The one that Moses prophesied about

“The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your countrymen, you shall listen to him. (Deuteronomy 18:15)

‘I will raise up a prophet from among their countrymen like you, and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. (Deuteronomy 18:18)

But what was Nathanael’s reaction? Can anything good come from Nazareth? Nathanael was thinking worldly and not spiritually. Many of us react the same way when we are taught about Jesus. How can God become a Man and save the world from their sin?

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!” (John 1:47)

What was Jesus reaction? He was not offended, in fact he called Nathanael a man of integrity

Nathanael answered Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You are the King of Israel.” (John 1:49)

Once Nathanael met Jesus he declared he is The Son of God. Maybe you have doubts or questions today about who Jesus is? Come to Christ, Seek and you will find, ask the Lord to reveal himself to you today in Jesus Name Amen!
