Mark 11:12–14 and 11:20–25
The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. Seeing
in the distance a fig tree , 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.
What does this say to you? It should say that as a fig tree, it's "JOB" is to produce figs. If it IS NOT producing figs, it is of no use.
WE are like Fig Trees & should also be "producing fruit". Through how we live our lives, how we treat others and above all, How we bring God into all aspects of our lives.
When we face God at the end of our lives, He will ask us - "What have you done with the life that I gave you?" We had better be able to show Him that we had used out lives to Glorify Him, to share Him with others, Love others as He has loved us, to have been productive in bringing about good in all that we do & all that we say, to have forgiven others, served the needy, etc.
In a nut shell, it is the Corporal Works of Mercy -
