8. The Lord Has Cleansed Our Hearts (John 2:13-22)

Today’s Scripture reading tells us that the Word of the baptism that the Lord received from John the Baptist on this earth and His Cross constitute the light of this world. It is written in John 1:9, “That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.” The “true Light” here speaks of the Light of Truth that is “trustworthy, without any falsehood, pure, and truthful.” In other words, the true Light is the complete opposite of any man-made light, and it refers to the pure, veritable, and perfect light of salvation.
The origins of today’s Christianity are traced back to the Protestant reformers of the 16th century. These reformers’ faith, however, were rooted in the Apostles’ Creed rather than the true Light. Historically speaking, the basis of the Apostles’ Creed lies in the Nicene Creed. Although its adherents claim that the Nicene Creed is a confession of faith that inherited the faith of the apostles of the Early Church, in reality, it destroyed these apostles’ faith. The Nicene Creed was a fabricated creed, for it left out the Word of the baptism that Jesus Christ received from John the Baptist and through which He took away the sins of this world.
