Religion & Spirituality
This week we continue in Matthew 21. We see Jesus returning back to the city after spending the night in Bethany. Jesus encounters a fig tree and seeing that it had no fruit, he cursed the tree and the fig tree withered at once. This is a living parable that displays a spiritual reality: 1. Fig tree itself is a picture of the nation of Israel. 2. The figs that didn't exist are the true worship of the living God. 3. The leaves on the fig tree are the empty religious rituals that lacked any kind of substance of true Godly worship. 4. The withering of the tree is the judgement that will come to those who do not have a relationship with God. Tune in as we dive deeper into this passage and how we should respond to this message.
