Why did Jesus ride a donkey into Jerusalem (this occasion is the only record of Him having ridden an animal)? Jesus has been to the temple many times, why does He throw a tantrum this time? What lesson should we learn from the fig tree? Jesus told His disciples "if you have faith and do not doubt... whatever you ask in prayer, if you believe, you will receive"; is it really that simple, that we've been given a signed blank check? Is it an indictment against us if we don't receive what we ask for? Why does Jesus give an evasive answer when asked about His authority? What indictment does Jesus bring against the chief priests and the Pharisees?
