Holy Tuesday | Holy Week

Holy Tuesday is about the temple’s destruction. When Jesus cursed a fig tree for not having fruit, it was a prophetic symbol of the fruitlessness of Israel’s temple. In the same way that Jesus cursed the fruitless fig tree to destruction, he was cursing the fruitless temple to destruction as well. He does this, not only as a judgment against the corrupt religiosity that had overtaken God’s house, but also as a picture of what is to come. Jesus was building a new temple. That temple is made up of Jesus’ followers, dwelled in by Jesus’ Spirit, and led by Jesus himself.

Thank you so much for teaching me something new. 🎉❤ There is much to chew on and ask where to kill off the old Religion in my life and those around me.

AMAZING... thanks for beautifully explaining... It is now clear to me what Jesus has done to the fig tree and what he said about prayer. 🙏😊
