DEVOTIONAL
Daily Lectionary: Job 5:1-27; John 2:13-25
But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men, and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man. (John 2:24–25)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Jesus knows what’s impure about the temple. He cleans it out. He disperses all that defiles it—the money changers, the livestock—and overturned the tables. Yet driving out these things isn’t enough. He’s going to have to die for sins, and rise again on the Third Day. That’s the proof He can do these things—the proof of His authority. Man believed by the signs He did, besides dying and rising: “But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men, and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man.”
Jesus is God and therefore knows all things. He knows what was in the hearts of those in His presence in the temple. He knows what’s in you, too—your thoughts and desires. You may put on a good front to those around you, but you can’t do that with Jesus. Can’t fool Him! He knows your sins, but He also sees your very nature: the corruption that is so deep-seated within your nature that it can only be discerned by Him and can only be believed by you on the basis of the Scriptures. He knows that you are a poor, sinful creature.
Because Jesus knows this about you, He also knows the best remedy: “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” And so it happens. He dies for your sins. He has mercy on you. He gives you the forgiveness of your sins at the holy font. He has mercy on you by absolving your sins. And He gives you His Body and Blood as seal and testament of this forgiveness along with the forgiveness itself. Now, Christ knows what’s within you when you are in Him, and you do, too! It’s Him! His righteousness. His Life. His forgiveness. We cry out to Him to have mercy on us in our wretched state, and so He does—more mercy than we can possibly know, but He knows and gives it all the more! In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
To Thee, omniscient Lord of all, In grief and shame I humbly call; I see my sins against Thee, Lord, The sins of though and deed and word. They press me sore; I cry to Thee: O God, be merciful to me. (To Thee Omniscient Lord of All, LSB 613:1)
