Scripture: John 2:15-21; Matthew 21:13-16

Message Summary: Today, we are going to look at probably the most angry that Jesus ever got. In fact, he not only expressed his anger verbally; he expressed it physically. Probably the most shocking picture of Jesus in the New Testament is when he cleaned house literally. He cleansed the temple. In fact, he did it twice. We are going to be looking at two passages of scripture – the second chapter of John and the twenty-first chapter of Matthew. In John, he cleansed the temple at the beginning of his ministry, and in Matthew, he did it at the end of his ministry. This story answers the two questions, “What made him angry?” and “Who was his anger directed toward?”
