1: Jesus Gets Hangry

“The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit.

When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.” — Mark 11:12–14

Once upon a time, Jesus was walking through the countryside with his disciples. Since this was before Chick-fil-A, they didn’t have easy access to food while they were traveling. And that day, the messiah was feeling a little peckish.

Jesus spotted a fig tree and thought he could get a meal from it. But when the caravan reached the tree, it didn’t have any delicious figs ready to eat. That’s when Jesus got upset. Christ cursed the fig tree in front of his followers and declared that it would never again produce fruit.

Despite being able to feed 5,000 people with some bread and fish, Jesus wasn’t able to make a meal out of no figs.
