Mark 11:12-15 (correction ☺️)

Jesus saw a fig tree that was showcasing leaves, as He walked up closer he saw it had no fruit, so he cursed it! Why is this significant?! It was not the right season for fig trees to produce fruit and fig trees only have leaves on them when they are producing. So by the tree having leaves it was being deceptive. Jesus saw deception and cursed it by saying “you will bear no fruit”. Such a big deal because if we’re living in a life of deception think about the fruit in our lives that we will not bear. This goes beyond peace, but The things that we are hoping for and praying for that cannot be produced because the seed is not blessed. It is so important as Christians for us to be transparent so as people get closer to us they see truly who we are, and seeing some times that it’s definitely OK to be in a season of not producing fruit. Sometimes and always we will go through hills and valleys and struggles and we must be transparent with each other showcasing who we are and order to give glory to God. God is the one that saves us, God is the one who transforms us, God is the one who renews us! Too many of us are showcasing exterior things to show that we are OK and that we’re doing well when on the inside we can struggling with something that is plugging up our life from moving forward in our walk/faith. Be transparent and give yourself what God gives you- Grace!!! We must show that we are saved by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony. What testimony do we have if we keep it in the dark.
