All done with another week. What did I learn?

I need to find out why Jesus cursed the fig tree when it wasn't even time for the fig tree to have figs. (Yeah, I got the rest figured out ;))
Don't try to trick Jesus, He's smarter than you. (How many people left Him feeling dumb)
The greatest commandment isn't even in the 10 Commandments. (Why not the 2 Commandments?)
The end is coming. (And only those that endure till the end are saved)
There is an election (More and more on my way to being a full-fledged Calvinist)
Judas was terrible, and the crucifixion horrible, but the resurrection? Amazing. (Thank you God)
And finally, HE IS RISEN (He is Risen indeed)

Next week, review week, and I'll work on those passages from Mark I didn't do.
