Most of us think of teaching as verbally explaining truths.
Sometimes that is the case, but Jesus takes two different tactics
to convey truths to those around him. First, in this passage he
uses the metaphor of the fig tree. The people of God are called to
bear fruit; Jesus rebukes a tree for not bearing fruit and curses
it. This is a metaphor for Israel and the temple-- it isn't bearing
fruit as it is called, and therefore, Jesus rebukes it. This will
culminate in the destruction of the temple and fall of Jerusalem in
70 A.D.
