The Unchanging Word is studying through the Gospel
of John. We are in John chapter two 13-25.
After showing His glory in Cana of Galilee of transforming the water into wine, and spending a short
time in Capernaum, we next see Jesus in Jerusalem,
some 100 miles south in Judea and He is in the temple.
In our study today, Dr. Mitchell makes the observation
that the Passover of the Lord had degenerated into a commercial holiday, the passover of the Jews.
Jesus demonstrated his authority and power making a clean sweep of the His father's house driving out those who were selling animals for sacrifice, people making merchandise of the things of God.
Jesus makes mention of His coming resurrection
but His disciples did not understand His Words till after He was raised from the dead.
Sometimes it takes time before we remember and believe God's Word doesn't it?
So, let's turn in our Bible to John 2:13.
