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).

Exodus 12 and Luke 23 connect in a powerful way: Jesus the Passover Lamb is examined publicly and declared innocent—yet still punished so the guilty can go free. This message highlights the necessity of a spotless substitute and the sobering reality that affirming truth about Jesus isn’t the same as saving faith.

Sermon:
The humility of Christ is one of the most astonishing truths in all of Scripture.
Though Jesus is fully God, He did not come into the world displaying royal splendor. He was born in poverty, raised in obscurity, rejected by His own people, mocked as a king, and crucified on a cross—yet He never stopped being King.
In this message from Philippians 2, I explore what Scripture teaches about Christ’s humility, the Incarnation, and why Jesus laid aside His visible glory without surrendering His deity or authority.
