#4-10 A Party & A Purge – Finding Justice

February 05, 2024

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE?
We elaborate on two events from the last episode. Jesus comes to a wedding and performs a miracle there. What does that mean for you and me? Then, Jesus goes to the Temple in Jerusalem and purges it of the merchants within. What does that mean? How do these events show the same side of Jesus?
SCRIPTURES USED IN THIS EPISODE:

John 2
Psalm 69:9
2 Kings 19:30-31; Isaiah 37
Isaiah 58:6-8
Isaiah 59:15-18
Isaiah 9:6-7

SCRIPTURES NOT USED IN THIS EPISODE (BUT IMPORTANT FOR UNDERSTANDING)!
In my explanation of the image of wine and blood in the story of the miracle of water being turned into wine, I mentioned that wine and blood were images used throughout the New Testament. Here are scriptures which illustrate that connection:
