Are You Going to Carry a Lamb All the Way to Jerusalem?

In John's gospel, Jesus cleanses the temple at the very beginning of his ministry here. In the Synoptic Gospels, Jesus cleansed the temple at either Palm Sunday or the day after. He would now say, my house, not just my father's house when referring to us being the temple of our God in a beautiful symbolic sort of way. And this purifying of the big temple is simply an object lesson for what Jesus is trying to do with you.
