Yesterday's sermon, which I turned into a blog post with accompanying audio, video, and notes:
https://www.scottlapierre.org/jesus-cleanses-the-temple/
The second instance of Jesus cleansing the temple of corruption is in all three synoptic Gospels (Matthew 21:12-16, Mark 11:15-18, Luke 19:45-48). The first instance is only in John 2:12-25 right after the wedding at Cana when Jesus’ ministry began. The first thing Jesus did after his ministry began was cleanse the temple, and the first thing he did after making his triumphal entry into Jerusalem was cleanse the temple. These two cleansings serve as bookends on Jesus’ three-year ministry and reveal his heart for “pure and undefiled religion” (James 1:27).

In Luke 24:28–35, the disciples’ eyes were opened, and they recognized the risen Christ.
Then they said, “Did not our hearts burn within us…while he opened to us the Scriptures?” Luke 24:32

How does the Old Testament point to Jesus?
In Luke 24:27, Jesus began with Moses and all the Prophets and showed the disciples “in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.”
The cross was not the defeat of the Messiah. It was His mission.
