In the name of God, who has given us a new commandment. John throws us a curve ball so to speak. In this gospel account, John places this meal, this last supper, as happening before the Passover.

Third SUNDAY Of Lent,   March 4, 2018 Exodus 20:1-17, Psalm 19, 1 Corinthians 1:18-25, John 2:13-22 CLICK HERE to listen to recorded sermon. I suspect you might all agree with me that this is one of the most striking passages in the Gospels. It shows Jesus on the verge of violence as he drives the money changers out of the temple.

Today’s Gospel is taken from the prologue or introduction to the Gospel according to John: “in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”  (Jn 1:1) It often seems very poetic (it is) and very theological (again, yes) and very difficult to understand. I like…
