Why Did Jesus...? (S3EP8)

Why did Jesus curse a fig tree? Did he really teach in parables to stop people understanding? And can anyone honestly expect to receive "a hundred times as much" for following him?In this episode of The J.John & Tom Wright Podcast, J.John and Tom Wright unpack some of the most puzzling and misunderstood sayings and actions of Jesus. They explore the strange incident of the cursed fig tree, ask why Jesus sometimes appeared to hide the truth through parables rather than make it clearer, and examine his remarkable promise that those who leave everything for the sake of the gospel will receive "a hundred times as much" in this present age.A fascinating conversation that reveals the deeper meaning behind some of Jesus' most surprising moments.
