How did the many rituals and traditions of Judaism develop in the centuries prior to Jesus’ birth? Listen to this message to hear a detailed history of the period which included the Maccabean Revolt and the rise of the Herodian dynasties. See the key sects of the Scribes’, Pharisees’, and Sadducees’ origins and how this led to a belief that righteousness could be achieved by one’s own good deeds. Appreciate how Paul deftly debunks this belief.

123 - Cleansing the Temple [B]

Sunday, June 12, 2016

by Robert Dean

Passage: Matthew 21:12-17

Series: Matthew (2013)

Duration: 50 mins 30 secs

Men rushing around. Sheep bleating and doves cooing as money is changing hands. Jesus enters and takes total control of the chaos, turning over the money changers’ tables, scattering their profits, and releasing the lambs. Listen to this lesson to learn why Jesus is cleansing the Temple and how the religious leaders react. View detailed drawings of the Temple and find out that in the Church Age Christians’ bodies are a temple and are cleansed by confession of sin.

The book on the Temple that Dr. Dean mentioned during this Bible class is available from Rose Publishing: Rose Guide to the Temple by Dr. Randall Price.
