What Does Jesus Have Against Fig Trees?

This morning we had 18 students who seemed happy that spring is finally here. With Spring comes Easter, so today we looked at a few of the events leading up to Easter that are talked about in Matthew 21. Before preparing this lesson I had no knowledge of the deep meaning of figs in the Bible. It was quite eye opening to see how Jesus weaves elements from humanity into His divine story.

Dinner table questions:
What fruit might have been the forbidden fruit for Adam and Eve?
Why did Jesus curse the fig tree?
How are we like the crowd who one day says "Hosanna" and a week later says "Crucify Him?"
If Jesus came into our temple would He be happy or would there be some tables He would overturn?
