God desires fruit out of the lives of His people that brings glory to His name. Israel, like the barren fig tree, was not producing fruit for the Lord, but had rejected His word and were plotting to murder His Son. Their stewardship was withered like the cursed fig tree, ushering in the time of the Gentiles (the Church age).

Once again, Jesus silences the religious rulers who are relentless on trying to catch Him in his words. Through the dialogue, we learn a great deal about God’s desire to see fruit for His Son’s inheritance.

We look at the situation of Jocebed and her efforts to save her baby. We see the lessons to overcome struggles in our lives.
