Temple

Scripture

John 2:13-22

Reflection

What angers you deep in your bones? Where is God in that anger?

Prayer

God of justice, you flipped tables in the temple, and then immediately spoke to people who were eager to listen. We seem to only be able to do one or the other—we can be prophetic or pastoral. We can be angry or be gentle. We can speak or listen. Help us to hold both at the same time. Teach us your ways, so that we too can be agents of change. Amen.
