—Mark 11:20-25
by: Jerry Johnson.
Jesus cursed the fig tree. In the back of his mind, it could have been symbolic of Israel. There was so much promise, but little fruit. The outward religion was good, but there was no inner godliness. In the redemptive purpose of God, the nation had rejected the source of salvation.
We must have faith in God. Then he can achieve his purpose for our lives and those of people around us. We can be like the disciples if we pray in faith that the cause of Christ will spread throughout the rest of the world.
