On two separate occasions in Mark 11, Jesus becomes frustrated by a lack of fruit. First, he curses a fig tree for its literal lack of fruit. Then he drives vendors and money-changers out of the temple for using it as a way to make a profit. In the same way that Jesus judged the fig tree for being all leaves and no fruit, Jesus judged Israel for being all temple and no life change. As Christians today, are we all church and no life change?
