We do not usually think that Jesus would do anything destructive; we think of His healings, His power over the storm, feeding 5,000 and turning water into wine. On all those occasions He was demonstrating His divine power to create and recreate, to undo the ravages of evil and bring new joy. But this passage is different. Jesus sees an unproductive fig tree and curses it so that it would never again bear fruit. His words had an even greater effect because it was subsequently found to be dead with withered leaves.

“I love reading Word@Work because it's very inspiring and I learned a lot, for me it is also well explained more elaborated. I usually use it for sharing the Word of God during fellowship. Just finished reading the complete Book of Acts yesterday and it is wonderful to learned so much about the mission and journey of Paul that was the task given by Jesus Christ Himself. Love it! ”
