What was the last miracle Jesus performed before being nailed to the tree? Being hungry, and stressed because He knew what was coming, He went to a fig tree to eat some figs. Finding none, He said to the tree, may you never produce another fruit! And the tree withered and died right there.
Ann Voskamp writes,
The authentic Christian life has got to be more than leafage.Faith has to have fruit.
It’s the fig-bearers who live a faith that bears fruit. And it’s the leaf-wearers who just live this front that wears thin.
These brittle, dry days — they can be kindle for burning bushes and God can come upon the dry bones and they can bud and blossom. And we can eat almonds and taste miraculous fruit from limbs just surrendered.
