The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. Then he said to the tree, ‘May no one ever eat fruit from you again.’ And his disciples heard him say it.” (Mark 11: 12-14).


I just wondering because it's was not it time to produce fruit,, everything has season and time,,, Pls help me on this verse..

Verse 20, 21 ,22,23 make us to know why Jesus did that, 22 in particular

OK you mean it's was for example of faith at work?

The tree is a deceiver. It was not yet season for it to produce fruits, yet it produced leaves just to deceive people from afar making them think it has fruits. That's why Jesus was angry at it.

Same thing goes for false Christians who aren't saved. They go to church, carry large Bible, act Christian but lack the fruit thereof.

Pls don't get me wrong on this question,, is it naturally that fig tree don't produce leaf without fruit?

To add to this, He was delighted that the tree had brought out leaves even out of season, that's why he thought there was a chance that it had borne figs. That was how He knew that the tree was a "deceiver" .

In reality, this means that some people tend to be faster than their shadows, and try to show people that they are born again. They don't yet have what it takes to bear the fruits of a born again person, but they put up a facade just to make people believe that they're born again.

It wasn't yet season for figs to come out, yet one fig tree had leaves. The leaves indicated that it was an early bloomer and therefore should have fruit.

Imagine Nigeria. Soldiers hiding in sambisa forest waiting for pile of arms to be delivered to them so they can go and battle Boko Haram.

Now, imagine one of the soldiers getting up from their hideout and walking to confront Boko Haram. Wouldn't you think he must have a weapon perhaps hiding in his uniform for him to be brave enough to confront Boko Haram?

How disappointed do you think everyone will be on discovering he doesn't even have a single weapon but acting like he's got an armoury? Instead of him to wait for the season when arms will be supplied, he's acting like he's got nukes.
