I read the account of when Jesus walked by a dead fig tree. God in the flesh looked upon this nonuseful tree and told it to wither up dry. Being questioned on why He did this, he says it has no fruit so what good is it to be here, remove it. This is of couse in my words of what was said. What does that passage say to you? Jesus goes on to talk about faith and having none and what you can do when you do have faith. But that tree, it was pretty, it was useful at one time. It did do what it was designed to do. Not anymore no fruit was found, it became fruitless. This reminds me of my life at times. I get so busy just being green and enjoying the sun that I’m no longer fruitful. Every time I read this I wonder if Jesus came to me would he tell me to wither up as He did that tree? Never mind I know that answer. What about. What would your answer be, where are your figs? Remember He came to the fig tree looking for food. Just a thought…

When all Denied
A brief encounter with a sick woman. Her issue of blood was a long time battle for her. We can speculate that this issue has cost her everything. From Marks account we gather that she went to every doctor of the day and they didn’t have the answer. We see even that she got worse as time went on. Frustrated by the life she lived.
Drinketh of this water
John 4:13-14
The story of Jesus meeting the women at the well is often spoken of in the Church. It is a story that is told over and over, why is that because it is told to tell us that we are to serve where we are at. It has been said that Jesus must needs, and that we must needs as well. We are shown how Jesus knew the Women and her past life and still talked with her. How that the Samaritans were the outcast and that we need to go to the outcast but there is something that I believe is overlooked. It is an important yet simple set of words contained in this lesson. Drinketh of this water. You see Jesus gave the women a choice… Keep doing what you have always done or come to me and I will give you water of everlasting life.
