    Today’s passage brings together two events which are not unrelated to each other: the cleansing of the Temple, and the withering of the fig tree. Both are figurative of the state and changing status of the old Jewish faith at the dawn of the gospel era.

    Jesus’ curse upon the fruitless tree was not the result of a quick temper; instead, He used the occasion as an object lesson against hypocrisy and misrepresenting the truth.

    To be completely honest, if I was writing the New Testament this is one story I probably would have skipped. And if you were completely honest you have probably been uncomfortable reading it. It just doesn't fit with our view of Jesus. We can understand when he goes ballistic and clears the ...read more
