Default Re: Jesus Curses the Fig Tree (Mark 11:12-14) - 01-13-2010, 05:38 AM

My brothers and sisters,
I believe that you have misunderstood the context of this verse and the intentions of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Those who are knowledgable in the botany of jeruselem know that almost all fig trees have seasons in which they grow figs, and seasons they don't; however, there are a few fig trees that you will see on very rare occasion that will bear fruit year long. In and out of season.
Jesus was not looking for any ordinary tree, but he was looking for a tree that produces fruit year-round.
This was no metaphor for a curse on Jeruselem. If Jesus was cursing jeruselem then why would he have his disciples do any ministry there after his descension?
No, this is a metaphor that Jesus uses to show that he is looking for believers who bear fruit year around. True seekers of Him without faltering in the seasons. Do not show fruit when the other Christians do and then go baren with them as the hypocrites do. Be seekers of the Lord and His will.

Now this act of Christ served another purpose. What was the reaction of the disciples when they saw that the tree had whithered only a couple days later? How much faith was produced when they saw that all nature obeyed the words of Jesus? And then to also be told that they would do even greater works in the name of their Lord.

this miracle was an amazing thing
