The Wrath of The Lamb

Mark writes about Jesus cursing a fig tree, and then how Jesus moves to the cleansing of the temple, and then back to the same fig tree.


Understanding why he does this gives us great insight into how to interpret this passage.


There is a significant spiritual connection between these two stories.


It’s like going in for counseling…where the problem is not the problem.

The cursing of the fig tree reveals a physical picture of a spiritual reality.


So to understand the cursing of the fig tree, we must look beyond the surface and view this narrative for what it is— a living parable.


This story is not about Jesus’ hunger, and it’s not about Jesus’ anger.
