Lent 3
John 2.13-22Becoming the good news - Week 3 of 6
Six weeks in which we observe Jesus taking up the mission of the Old Testament writers. This will help us think about how we can enter the stories of Jesus and become good news ourselves. An article that provides an overview of the theme can be found here .
Holy space
In this week’s familiar story of Jesus cleansing the Temple we are reminded of his call for us to be holy.
This week’s reading provides an opportunity to:
- recognise the importance of the Temple in Jerusalem (CYP)
- examine the context of the writing about this event, after the fall of the Jerusalem Temple (AAA)
- think about the meaning of the word ‘holy’ and what it means to sanctify our lives (AAA & CYP)
- consider the ways in which we make ourselves, and the spaces in which we pray, holy. (AAA & CYP)
