May 30, 2012 Why did Jesus answer a question with a question, rather than just telling the Pharisees by what authority He acted?
They, the Pharisees had made up their minds to trap Him with that question but they were cought in their own trap hence their refusal to answer the question.Poor they! they never knew who was in their mist because of their disbelieve.

May 28, 2012 What lesson do you think Jesus taught the disciples by cursing the fig tree?
Jesus taught the disciples to have unconditional faith that works to produce good result;because faith without works is death as the fig tree that failed to produce fruits died.

May 28, 2012 Why did Jesus clear the temple in such a dramatic manner? Why did not he try to accomplish the same thing more diplomatically?
He did that to change that bad practice that had gained roots right in the house of God.The manner with which He accomplished that feat also helped to establish himself as coming from God the Father.

May 27, 2012 Why did Jesus choose to make His entry to Jerusalem in a humble manner, riding a donkey?
It was to fufill what the prophets had spoken long about Him as their King.Yes, that prophesy had to come true.It was also to show the type of His Kingship was.as opposed to what the Jews had expected; a warrior to free them from the Romans.
