Jesus: Caiaphas and the Mafia

A famous scene: Jesus with a whip turning over tables in the Temple courts. Not many people realize that this scene most likely happened twice: at the beginning of Jesus’ ministry and at the end. Why would the Son of God “book end” His ministry with these events? By taking a closer look, one can see Jesus rebuking not just misuse of money in worship but also tearing down “Caiaphas and the Mafia.” Jesus cleansed the Temple of both money but also of control. He builds a new Temple made of living stones. Has control and money profaned your Temple? Come this Sunday @ 10:00 to learn the spiritual intricacies behind these events.
