The Lesson of The Fig Tree

Mark 11:12-14, 20-25 and 13:28-31 The Lesson of the Fig Tree
Our Lord's dealings with the fig tree teach us about Himself.

1. Only leaves on the fig tree = only buyers/sellers in the temple = only busy activity in the church. No fruit means not being what God designed us to be. (11:12-14)
2. We are designed to be people who trust God, talk to God, and forgive others; all our fruits come from these roots. (11:20-25)
3. Remain aware of the nearness of Christ and the trustworthiness of His Word. (13:28-31)
