We are becoming like him in thought, word and deed, and One Day we will see him and we will be perfected in his image and we will be just like him, in other words, the glorified, risen christ who's sitting at the right hand of the father in his humanity as well as his deity.
Ever wondered what Jesus' cleansing of the temple really signifies for us today? In this eye-opening episode of 'Encounter Recovery Ministries', Rick Peterson takes a deep dive into this pivotal moment in biblical history. After cursing the fig tree, Jesus enters Jerusalem and overturns the tables in the temple, challenging a corrupted religious system.
Peterson explains how this act wasn't just about anger or frustration; it was a profound statement about the end of the Levitical priesthood and the establishment of a new covenant. Jesus declares himself not only as King but also as the High Priest, with his body—the church—as the new temple. Peterson unpacks how this shift from a physical building to a spiritual body changes everything about how we approach faith and worship.
He warns against religious systems that rely on human effort rather than divine grace and highlights the importance of recognizing Christ's righteousness as our own. If you're curious about how ancient events can shape your modern faith, this episode is a must-listen.
