John 2 reveals that Jesus came to replace empty religion with a joyful, transforming relationship. At the wedding, he turns the water of ritual cleansing into the wine of abundant and joyful grace. and in the temple he removes everything that blocks true communion with God. Jesus turns over the tables in our lives not to harm us but to heal us. Jesus is the true Temple—the One who brings eternal joy, cleanses our hearts, and invites us into life with God.
