Jesus Flips Tables: A Call to Spiritual Renewal

Jesus Flips Tables: A Call to Spiritual Renewal

In a bold act of reform, Jesus cleanses the temple, challenging institutional practices and redefining worship. The focus shifts from traditional sacrifices to a personal connection with Jesus, symbolized by the transition from the altar to the Communion Table. This radical act challenges institutional rigidity, prompting reflection on personal and spiritual cleansing during the Lenten season. As we journey to the cross, may our lives become sacred spaces where Christ is raised, fostering openness to God’s renewing work.

A summary from this past Sunday’s sermon based on John 2:13-22.

Thursday of the Fourth Week in Lent

Thursday of the Fourth Week in Lent

Day 20: Mighty God, empower us to be instruments of your peace, breaking down walls of prejudice, misunderstanding, and conflict. Guide us to build bridges of understanding and love, fostering connection and reconciliation in your name, just as Jesus offered himself as the ultimate sacrifice, bridging the gap between humanity and God. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
