The Final Temple
Playback speed
We’re looking at a very famous passage about Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem and the cleansing of the temple. And in the midst of this passage, there’s the curious incident of the fig tree.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on September 17, 2006. Series: King's Cross: The Gospel of Mark, Part 2: The Journey to the Cross. Scripture: Mark 11:1-18.
