Mark 11:12-26 depicts Jesus cursing a fig tree and acting subversively in the Temple. These are actions that are largely lost on a modern audience but ones that were clearly understood by both Jesus' disciples and the Jewish leaders, a rare occurrence that should tip us off to the importance of what Jesus was doing. What he did in the Temple was so confrontational that is likely the single act that caused Jesus to be killed. Yet, we can be very much in danger of missing the importance of justice to Jesus and the implications of not pursuing it.
