S. Mark 11:12-14 “The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. Then he said the to the tree, ‘May n one ever eat fruit from you again.’”
O. While it was not typically the season for figs, this tree had full leave and thereby should have had figs. Jesus’ curse on the tree, I think, is more symbolic to the nation of Israel. Israel should have been blessing the world, yet it offered nothing. Jesus’ curse is perhaps the sign of God setting Israel aside (Romans 9-11).
A. As a follower of Christ, I desire to be full of fruit that will benefit others at all times.
P. Thank you Father for this word. There is much here I have not space to write about. Holy Spirit fill me and guide me to be found by Jesus bearing fruit for you. In Jesus name!
