THE CURSED FIG-TREE THAT WITHERS AWAY (Matthew 21:18-22)

Matthew 21:18-22

In the morning (after throwing over the money-changers' tables in the Temple, and staying overnight in nearby Bethany) he came back early to the city and felt hungry. He saw a fig-tree growing by the side of the road, but when he got to it he discovered there was nothing on it but leaves.

"No more fruit shall ever grow on you!" he said to it, and all at once the fig-tree withered away. When the disciples saw this happen they were simply amazed. "How on earth did the fig-tree wither away quite suddenly like that?" they asked.
"Believe me," replied Jesus, "if you have faith and have no doubts in your heart, you will not only do this to a fig-tree but even if you should say to this hill, 'Get up and throw yourself into the sea', it will happen! Everything you ask for in prayer, if you have faith, you will receive."


PERSONAL REFLECTION:

The miracle plainly depicts how of truly strong Jesus’ faith is. He teaches us to have more faith and constant prayer. We can do anything with our devotion. When we dedicate ourselves, it must be full and no sign of any doubt in the heart. We can move mountains if we have faith. We can never know how and where our faith will bring us to. He said that in everything that we ask for in our prayers, we will achieve it if we only have deep faith to it. We, therefore, must believe in life and in ourselves in accordance with God’s will and love.
