Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion:
- Read John 2:13-25. Why does Jesus drive the animal sales and money-changers out of the temple? Consider Psalm 69:9, Isaiah 56:7, and Jeremiah 7:9-11.
- What is zeal? Is it good for Christians to be zealous? For what? How do you measure zeal? How do you grow zeal?
- How does Jesus’ statement in verse 19 answer the question of verse 18? How does his death and resurrection give him authority over the temple, the place of worship?
- What are the implications of the truth that Jesus is the new temple?
- Why does Jesus not entrust himself to them? What does he know about man? How does this impact us?
