John 2:12-25 Who do you think you are?

Some people when they hear the things Christians claim, respond by asking "who do you  think you are?"

Do Christians have the right to make statements about what is, what should be and what will be?

It's a question of authority, and in the end it's a question of the authority of the leader of Christianity - Jesus Christ. Does he have the right to say how things are, how they should be and how they will be?

In this text the Jews were indignant when Jesus threw all the traders out of the temple. They demanded that he did a miracle to prove he had the authority to decide what should happen in the temple courts.

Jesus reply was about the fact that his bodily temple would be destroyed and three days later it would be raised. He would be killed but he would return to life. That's the ultimate proof you need that
Jesus has the authority.

That's why you need to listen to him.
