Mark 11:11-26
The key to understanding this difficult Gospel is that an Old Testament image of Israel is a fig tree. The temple is to be a house of prayer for all people, not a certain select few. For Jesus, Jewish temple piety is insincere and does not bear fruit. That’s the source of his anger.
I know that I am not always sincere in my prayer and practice. With your help I will strive to be fully alive, conscious and active in faith.
