For Self-Reflection
1. Religious leaders allowed people to use the temple for business. Why did they do so? What do you think?
2. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 6:19). Would you let Jesus clean up the temple? If so, take some time. If not, why?
3. By doing right, you can hide your-true-self so that you can avoid dealing with your brokenness. Is there any other danger of doing right?
4. Why some people are motivated by the law more than love? Why do they focus on rules more than relationships?
- Can we keep both the law and love? Can we keep both rules and relationships? If so, how? If not, why?

2. Setting up healthy boundaries

For Self-Reflection
1) If you were Mary, how would you have reacted to Jesus when he said "Woman, what concern is that to you and to me?”? Why would you do so?
2) If you were a helper, what would you have thought when you were told, “Do whatever he tells you"?
   - Then, what about when you were told, "Fill the jars with water." What would have been your thought while you were filling them up?
3) Jesus said to the helpers, "Now draw some out, and take it to the chief steward." So they did so. What might they have expected by doing this?
4) Three elements: grace, truth, and time, are necessary for us to build up healthy boundaries. How your boundaries may be like if one of them is missed? Think about each case.
