John 2:18-21

Dr. Ronnie Wolfe

This section of Scripture tells us of the Jews' wanting a sign for Jesus' sayings. He gave one sign, the sign of the destruction of the temple, which He would raise up in three days.

This made no sense, as the Jews thought He spoke of the temple in Jerusalem, when actually He spoke of His body. His body would die, but it would rise again. It was not until after His resurrection that the disciples realized He was speaking of His body. This is a great mystery, but it is a great joy to believers.

After His resurrection, the disciples began to believe Scriptures that before his resurrection were a mystery. Now the mystery has been revealed, and we now know the Gospel and praise God for his finished work on Calvary, in the grave, and in His resurrection.
