FAMILY THEME: JESUS HAS ALL AUTHORITY

John 2:13-24

In a rare display, Jesus demonstrated His authority by cleansing the

temple. The temple was the house of God. As the Son of God, Jesus

had the right to correct those who were keeping people from His Father.

1.  Jesus Had Authority to Demand Pure Worship

     (John 2:13-17)

     Jesus confronted those who were corrupting the true worship of

     God in the temple.

 
2.  Jesus' Resurrection Confirmed His Authority

     (John 2:18-22)

     The Jewish leaders demanded a sign to confirm Jesus' authority.

 
3.  Jesus Exercised Authority by Rejecting Insincere "Faith"

     (John 2:23-25)

     Jesus' many miracles cause many to believe in Him.
