Jesus and the disciples have spent the night in Bethany, probably at the home of His friends Lazarus, Mary, and Martha. In the morning, the group walks the 3 miles to Jerusalem. Along the way, Jesus discovers a fig tree which looks good but produces no fruit. He curses it and it becomes an analogy of a life that looks good on the outside, but does not have Christ inside.
Greetings Friend,
This weekend we’ll be in John 15 and 16 in our study of the book. I’ve titled the message “God In Your Life” and this part of Jesus’ message to the disciples covers the purpose, power, and presence of the Holy Spirit. When we repent and surrender our lives to Jesus, the Spirit comes into us and begins the work of transforming us into the image of Christ. He plays a critical and powerful role in our lives.
