John 2:18-25

"destroy this temple"

Jesus knew from the beginning what would happen to him. It's a strange response to the people
s question of his authority. I guess what Jesus is saying is that his actions will prove his authority. Actions speak louder than words. I need to act what I want to say.

Then there are these words "Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all men. He did not need man's testimony about man, for he knew what was in a man." Again strange words. What amazes me is that Jesus knew our hearts and yet he still came! He still loved us! He still went through with his mission.

Maybe he knew our hearts better than we do. Maybe he knew how helpless and broken they are. Jesus could not stand idly by when God had given him the power and authority to save us.
