“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 to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.”

(Mark 11:12-14)

In this passage, Jesus curses a fig tree when he finds no fruit on it.Jesus sees a leafy fig tree. Mark emphasizes that this tree is “in leaf” and that Jesus “found nothing but leaves.” The tree has the appearance of fruitfulness, but it is not bearing any fruit. Why? Because, as Mark says, “it was not the season for figs” (11:13).The fig tree has the appearance of fruitfulness, but none of the real fruit.

Just compare the fig tree to your life.Are you bearing Good fruits for JESUS???

(But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.Against such things there is no law.

Galatians 5:22-23)

Don’t be an empty fig tree that appears to be fruitful  .Be a person who produce good fruits for Jesus..Be an example for others.Let others know Jesus through you..

God bless
