You can take a small tomato seedling, bury it deep in a pot filled with nourishing soil and watch it become a monster plant, heavy with miraculous fruit.

By lunchtime, the whole place was a seething mass of men, women, and children all pushing and shoving to get a glimpse of this miraculous fruit.

The powerful imagery of a Day of Judgment, the splendid promises and lurid threatenings, the specific incidents of teaching and event, the overstrained eagerness,—which will not suffer a son to wait to bury his father, or allow a fig-tree to refuse miraculous fruit,—all agree in the presentation of Jesus as absorbed with this tremendous expectation.

He taught the use of the miraculous fruit, and the demand for it soon became so great as to render the cultivation of the tree necessary.
