Why was money being exchanged in the temple? Why is it better to talk of Christ’s “zeal” or “jealousy” instead of his anger (hint: Hebrew is involved!)? How does the closing verse of Zechariah help us interpret why Jesus drives out the moneychangers? What is the democratization of sanctification? How is the Babylonian destruction of the temple in 586 BC a foreshadowing of the crucifixion? Chad Bird tackles all these questions in this week’s video on John 2:13-22.
