Cleansing can be Painful

John 2 tells us about Jesus cleansing the Temple, taking place at the beginning of his public ministry.  Jesus is acknowledging what many others wouldn't - that there was an open wound causing harm to people and in need of cleansing and healing.  Likewise, we have many open wounds that need to be acknowledged and dealt with, rather than turning and looking away.  The sermon is based on John 2:13-25.
