Why would Jesus curse a fig tree because it didn’t have any fruit, when it wasn’t even the season for figs? Could it be that Jesus knew that 2000 years later His precious church would be full of fully-leafed fig trees that don’t bear fruit?
Having the choice between clean versus dirty water, who would choose to swim in the dirty water? Why is it then, that we choose to continually walk in the mire of sin?
If we would do everything in our power to help slow an incurable condition, how much more shouldn’t we do everything possible to bring our sinful nature under God’s control?
Time: We only have each minute once and then it is gone forever. Are we using it to the best of our abilitiy?
Does it seem like God is taking a very long time to change us? Take heart, it is all in His time!
Have you ever wondered why Jesus would curse a fig tree for not bearing fruit? What possible implications might that have for all Christians?
How people see us is unimportant. Their opinions and judgements are unimportant. What’s important is how God sees us. And just how DOES He see us?
Do you, like me, sometimes wonder how God lets us know what He wants for us?
He will throw out the evil that has lived there far too long, and replace it with healing, teaching, and praise.
Jesus says, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. What exactly does this mean?
