  • Summary

  • John2: 13-22

    Melissa Florer-Bixler preached on the cleansing of the Temple by Jesus. From this gospel we learn that the existence of an economy for selling sacrificial animals and exchanging currency was not what angered Jesus, being necessary for travelers to participate in rituals, but rather the proximity of these activities, within the holy space that God comes to inhabit and meet us. Melissa uses the destruction of the Temple and the Crucifixion of Jesus, Earthly places God has inhabited, to wrestle with the question of what kind of home does God make among us now? Without these touchstones, how do we possess a thing we cannot touch? All we have to make a home for God in the wilderness is each other when we meet in His name and the remembrance of his body and blood in the sacraments. We are now the feet and hands of Christ.
