19. Jn. 2: 13-25

1    Jn. 2: 13-25: With the trade and the entire ritualism in the temple what happens in the temple was a mere ritualistic worship while the hearts of the people are far from God. So Jesus reacts and cleanses the temple like that of the Old Testament prophets. Unless there is a connection between our piety and our everyday living, our devotions and liturgical services are pure hypocrisy which God rejects.
