This is day 3 on our journey to the cross. This is a neighbor's fig tree
and just as in Jesus' day, it has no fruit, for it is not the season for fruit.
This was an object lesson in faith that Jesus taught His disciples.
Matthew 21:19-22 Mark 11: 20-24
THE FIG TREE LESSON
Early in the morning,
To the city, on His way
Jesus passed an unfruitful fig tree
He cursed it that day.
It was an object lesson
For His disciples, you see
And the fig tree wilted
At His decree.
The disciples were astounded
At the things that He could do,
But He told them to have faith
And they could do great things too.
He felt the pressure
That time was running out
He had much to teach them
And He knew that they had some doubt.
He had to prepare them
For the coming event
And tell them for this reason
To earth, He was sent!
