Behold, the fig tree…
When the disciples saw that the fig tree had dried up overnight, they were startled.
Mark 11:19-25
- Not just a few leaves or branches, but the whole tree, trunk and roots, had withered overnight (v. 20).
- Remembering what Jesus had said a day earlier, Peter called attention to the dead tree (v. 21).
- Jesus’ response? “Have faith in God.†Does this impress you? What might you see if you truly believed in God?
- Mountains (literal or figurative?) could be moved if you only had faith (v. 23).
- Believe when you pray, and you shall receive (v. 24).
- But do not pray with an unforgiving spirit in you, or you will fail in prayer (v. 25). If you forgive, then your Father in heaven may forgive you also.
