Our Scripture passage for the Third Sunday of Lent comes from the Gospel of John 2:13–25. This is the story of Jesus Cleansing the Temple. Although Matthew, Mark, and Luke all place this moment at the end of Jesus’ ministry, John places it at the very beginning and as one of our Lord’s first public actions. In doing so, John is telling us that the cleansing of our temple has to be one of the first actions we experience as disciples of Jesus. This is an important message for us during this Lenten Time.
