In Mark 11, Jesus enters Jerusalem as a crowd of people praise Him and lay pieces of clothing and palm branches on the ground for the donkey He is riding to walk over. Shortly after this triumphal entry, Jesus cleanses the temple and curses a fig tree. Have you ever thought that was an odd combination of events for Mark to record in His gospel? In this message, we will explain the meaning and relationship between these events as we prepare our hearts to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection.
