In His final days, Jesus cleanses the Temple, but He cannot cleanse the hearts of the people. Even His disciples struggle to understand Him and His mission. Following Jesus’ death, He visits His disciples on the road to Emmaus. Afterwards they finally gain understanding: Jesus delivers all from the bondage of sin and death, giving hope of eternal life through His atonement. Isaiah 61; Matthew 21; Mark 12; Luke 4–24; John 2–19 ~ Parable of the Vineyard and Wicked Husbandmen
