To believe or not to believe. The truth is out there. There is no magic bullet to discern the truth. Social media platforms and competing news networks have left many confused and perhaps worse, disillusioned to reality. Judgements for many have become clouded by the transient and self serving nature of the powers of our leaders. Christ shepherds all with the power and wisdom of God, to encounter humanity and initiate our salvation. Jesus cleansing of the temple, which served as a market, and promise to raise it up in three days foreshadowed his crucifixion, resurrection and ascension. Jesus crucified became divine revelation, divine power and divine salvation, the essential truth, to the glory of God.

Amen.

Based on the readings for the week: 1 Corinthians 1:18-25; John 2:13-22.
