<p>Jesus said, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”</p><p> </p><p>This was the answer to the people’s request to show the sign that Jesus has the authority to drive them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and the oxen, and pour out the coins of the money changers and overturn their tables.</p><p> </p><p>However, Jesus’ answer was about His death and resurrection. </p><p> </p><p>To understand the words of Jesus, we must understand His entire story. It is through the context of the whole story that His words can be understood. Also, when we call upon Jesus, we need to consider all of His words as a whole. If we try to interpret His words based on our own circumstances, we will misunderstand them.</p><p> </p><p>Even the disciples' faith was made complete through Jesus’ death and resurrection. And through His death and resurrection, He makes us blessed.</p><p> </p><p><i>Excerpt from the sermon by Pastor Lee, Jan 21, 2025.</i></p><p><i><span data-ke-size="size18">John 2:13-22</span></i></p>
