“Think of all the kinds of businesses that have ever existed. They all had one thing in common. They sold something that people needed, wanted or desired at the time. They sold something that a group of people perceived as something that would improve their lives in some way.”

“What was it about the fig tree that was unsatisfactory to Jesus? Well if we use our context clues, we can deduce that the only thing that made this fig tree different than all of the other fig trees that Jesus must have encountered is that it was unfruitful - it was unproductive relative to its potential. To be a fig tree that does not produce figs is an insult to the creator, and arguably a waste of space - a bad investment.”
