S. 11
And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked
round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto
Bethany with the twelve. 12 And on the morrow, when they were come from
Bethany, he was hungry: 13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he
came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he
found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus
answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his
disciples heard it.
O. Jesus
visits the temple to evaluate the conduct and ministry. Jesus speaks to a fig
tree on his way to Bethany about fruit.
A. I
am aware that I am under evaluation at all times. My words, thoughts, attitudes
and deeds are all subject to this spiritual examination. The fig tree is a
warning to me that I should always have fruit (ministry, works, acts of love)
for any need, even out of season.
P Father;
fill me full, to the very overflowing, with your love, joy and peace. Prompt me
by your Spirit to be aware of the needs around me and excite in me a servant’s
heart. Amen.
