Holy Week 3: What A Week!
from FIVE Minutes with Phil Hosted by Phil Routly
There was a lot that happened between Jesus cleansing the temple and the last supper. One day, on their way to Jerusalem, they were walking beside a fig tree, and Jesus was hungry. The fig tree was in full bloom, but it turned out that there were no figs on it. It was putting up a good front, but producing no fruit. Jesus said to the tree, "May you never bear fruit again!" And immediately, the tree withered - Matthew says right before their eyes; Mark says they noticed it the next morning. The disciples wanted to know, "How did you do that?" And Jesus said, "If you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer" (Matt. 21:21-22; Mark 11:22-25).
